Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republican voters say their party has no clear leader, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Another 17% are undecided.
Just five percent (5%) view either John McCain, the GOP's unsuccessful 2008 presidential candidate, or new party chairman Michael Steele as the party's leader.
Two percent (2%) see conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh in that role, and one percent (1%) name McCain's running mate, Alaska Govenror Sarah Palin. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner are each seen as GOP leader by less than one-half of one percent.
FL Note: I was saying the day after the Election, that the system in the US,that a party that gets defeated in a Election,stays with no Leader,and the Nominee of the party is no more seen as the party leader is not healthy for Democracy,if the majority of the party voters voted for a nominee to lead the party a few month ago there is no reason why after the nation had their say and voted the party as the Oposition party,that the party should stay without a Oposition Leader to stand out against the president,if the Nominee didnt bring us to victory then there should be held special elections to vote for a Party leader to lead the party until the next primaries,in order to be a one voice Oposition party and a alternative to the ruling party.
If the RNC chairman is considered the Party Leader then he ought to be the Voice of the party and the Oficial Oposition Leader,and be elected by the Republican voters to express their voices and build up the party as a alternative and be ready to win in the upcoming Election.
