Texas Republican Party Chairwoman Tina Benkiser is reportedly putting out feelers and expressing an interest in chairing the Republican National Committee:
Tina Benkiser, the chair of the Texas Republican Party and an activist who played a key role in her state party’s conservatization five years ago, is beginning to make phone calls. She might be interested in the race. She’s identified with the Christian Right, which may be a problem for the some of the party’s establishment/Northeastern members, but she’s very capable and well regarded.

As a State delegate & elected party official, I can say that Tina Benkiser would be a bad choice for chair of the Republican National Committee. She has torn the Texas party in two by ignoring party rules and alienating the conservatives in Texas. She is not conservative.
Now that I have had time to think about it, PLEASE TAKE HER. You would be doing REAL TEXAS CONSERVATIVES a great favor.

I am hearing from a lot of conservatives that there is some dissatisfaction with Benkiser over a lot of things.
