He's not on the ballot for 2012, but Texas Gov. Rick Perry strongly impressed a gathering of top Republican officials here Tuesday, with many high-ranking GOP officials saying the governor would be their top choice if he entered the presidential race.
I would love to see a movement to draft Rick for the nomination if that's the only way we can get him to run," said Republican National Committee general counsel Bill Crocker after Mr. Perry delivered a luncheon address that had several hundred party officials attentive throughout.

CHARLOTTE -- Days after President Obama pitched a liberal agenda to the nation, Republican leaders will talk about how to regain control of the White House and Senate and emphasize conservative values in governance.
Reince Priebus, a Wisconsin lawyer who appears poised to win a second term as chairman of the Republican National Committee, said it's time for the party to lead and to learn to appeal to all Americans.

The chairman of the Republican National Committee said that the party organization and its resources were now at the disposal of Mr. Romney's campaign.
A day after Mitt Romney effectively assumed the helm of the Republican Party with five primary victories that solidified his stature as the presidential nominee-in-waiting, the party's national committee on Wednesday gave him its official embrace as the man it hopes will unite conservatives and lure independent voters away from President Barack Obama.

S o much for hope and change. With the economy growing worse and worse (see editorial above), the grand promises of Obama's 2008 campaign have faded as the reality of malaise takes hold.
Mr. Obama has vowed to spend $1 billion in advertising dollars to counteract the effect his policies have had on the nation. The GOP's campaign chief met with The Washington Times on Friday to discuss why that's not going to work. "I think this [election] is a referendum on Obama," said Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus. "The people in this country are going to ask themselves a question: 'Am I better off than I was three or four years ago?' And the answer is clearly no.

President Obama is so unpopular that in Tuesday's primary, 4 out of 10 West Virginia Democrats voted for a federal inmate. Keith Judd, otherwise known as prisoner No. 11593-051, doesn't even live in the Mountain State. Since 1999, he has been locked behind bars in Texarkana, Texas. That's a sign even Democrats are catching the anybody-but-Obama fever.
West Virginians have a lot of reasons to gripe. The coal- industry-reliant state is not happy about the administration's all- out war against fossil fuels. "From overregulation to gas prices and standing in the way of the Keystone pipeline, Obama's energy policies have hurt Americans, and it shows with his lack of support in states like West Virginia," said Republican National Committee spokesman Kirsten Kukowski.

The contentious presidential primary, in its ninth week, won't permanently damage the eventual nominee when the fall election arrives, the chairman of the Republican National Committee said on Monday.
In fact, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus told the Tribune-Review that a longer primary process might benefit the party by boosting people's enthusiasm and drawing them to polls.
