Sources say Chip Saltsman, former chairman of Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign, is unlikely to meet the threshold to get on the ballot for Republican National Committee chairman. Rules require each candidate to be endorsed by the majority, or two of three members, of three state delegations. He hasn't been spotted at the committee meeting at the Capital Hilton either. And deadline to make the ballot is 5 p.m. this eve. Saltsman, of course, mailed members a CD featuring a song titled, "Barack the Magic Negro."
Still other sources say that former Ohio Sec. of State. Ken Blackwell's supporters are being lobbied hard for their support by advocates for the other four candidates. As one GOPer described it: "He's roadkill." Likely the first one out of the contest.
And note this, GOPers backing candidates -- other than Party Chairman Mike Duncan -- are wearing special orange name tags to differentiate them from loyal white name tag wearers. Ouch.
