Ducks In A Row

December 19, 2008 | 11:15 AM

We heard this morning that former MD Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele has decided to join three of his rivals for Republican National Committee leader in backing the 'Rebuild the Party' platform created by activists looking to jumpstart the sputtering GOP.

Chip Saltsman, Saul Anuzis and Ken Blackwell have already endorsed the program. On Call has learned the RNC chairman Mike Duncan, who is seeking a second term in the job, will endorse the plan soon.

'Rebuild the Party' was launched by a coalition of well-known young Republicans looking to modernize the party, to build its online operation and target the GOP message to a broader audience. Among the big names involved: Erik Erickson, managing editor of Redstate.com; Patrick Ruffini, former Republican National Committee eCampaign Director & co-founder, The Next Right; Mindy Finn, Republican strategist; and Phil Musser, former executive director of the Republican Governors Association.
