Can someone explain why I know more about the election that Saul won while a student at UM Dearborn, than any recent elections he’s won? It’s probably because that’s the only election win he can point to. Before he took over as Chairman, he had a spectacular string of losses. He was on the Posthumus team that lost the Governor’s race to Granholm, and was part of the same group of political minds that lost Spence Abraham’s Senate seat that same year. He also managed his brother’s House race before that, going down in flames. Now let’s take stock of the Michigan Republican Party under his leadership- He lost the governor’s race to a woman who presided over a single state recession with a candidate with perfect credentials, lost the Senate race, lost the state House to the democrats, and just barely managed to hang on to the state Senate. It seems to me that his great gimmicks (the jobs clock) and his embrace of technology hasn’t helped much. And now I hear he has his sights set on RNC chairman? What kind of a bizarro world are we living in? I read an article a few years back about how democrat strategists are basically rewarded with more work for their losses, while republicans put the losing strategists out to pasture. I hope that we’re not falling into the same ways as the democrats because people can be fooled by someone’s “gimmicks”.
