And isn't this such another example of the need for a GOP restoration? Why should it cost $100,000 to be a National Committee person? Doesn't that alone exclude grassroots from becoming a National Committee person and therefore it's left to politicians and political consultants? I guess that NPV vote check comes in handy huh?

With social networking technology,does the RNC always need to have onsite meetings that cost air fare/hotel? Could Skype be an option? Are there other ways to cut down on the cost of being a National Committee person so that a "ordinary" grassroots person could run?
