U.S.: Who won the RNC chairman job? Nobody.

  • There was no majority victor. The guy who got the closest was former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who got 51 votes, but you need 85 to lead the Republican Party. The guy who’s currently the chair, Mike Duncan, only got 44, and as Bush’s handpicked choice during an era where George W. Bush was incredibly unpopular, he might have the stink on him which prevents him from keeping his job. They’ve already gone through three rounds of balloting. Maybe the fourth time’s the charm. source
