Current Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus appeared on CNNs John King USA on Friday night, but withheld his endorsement of presumptive Republican 2012 nominee Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA).
CNNs Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin asked Priebus whether he shouldnt, as party chair, endorse the obvious front-runner and stave off any potential damage that could still be done by the long, bruising primary process. Priebus said that he would wait to endorse until after the primaries are over, out of respect for the remaining two candidates, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) and Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX).
Priebus made headlines recently when he dismissed what many call the Republicans War on Women as being as ridiculous as saying that the GOP is conducting a war on caterpillars. Before ascending to the position of national party chairman, Priebus was chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party.

I think it was ...
"Rancid Penis" ... wait, no ... wrong again.
"Reese's Pieces" ... no no no ... those are not disgusting. And they don't make kids cry.
"Renal Probe" ... no no ... that's his twin.
Screw it ... I give up. I rinse my penis of the entire discussion.

(19,348 posts)5. The Rethugs will grudgingly rally around Mittens.
At their core, the various factions within the GOP will rally around him since they hate the black man in the Whitehouse so much.
The only group in the Repug Party that has any love for the vulture are his fellow vultures at Wall Street.
