These stories stem from the events that happened at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in St. Paul, Minnesota. Although these actions took place in the summer of 2008, the repercussions and trials continue. The outcome of the State versus the People of Minnesota is not yet known.

Steele, Republican National Committee chairman, is using his title to market himself for paid appearances nationwide, personally profiting from speeches with fees of up to $20,000 at colleges, trade associations and other groups - an unusual practice criticized by a string of past party chairmen.

Love her or loathe her, it's hard to argue that Sarah Palin didn't look chic during her debut at the Republican National Convention in September 2008. That weekend, Palin and her family were transformed overnight from fleece-wearing rubes to fashion plates, courtesy of a then-unnamed New York wardrobe stylist. The transformation cost the Republican campaign $150,000, a figure that outraged Palin's supporters and detractors alike. Still, most...

To whit: 'Will Barack Obama continue to have Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid majorities in Concress to ram through his radical leftist agenda of curtailed freedoms and government expansion, or... ...will our Party's commonsense conservative candidates prevail next November and roll back the left-wing gains that are threatening our prosperity and liberty?' Well, you have to admire their...  

In 1976, Ronald Reagan lost the Republican presidential nomination to incumbent Gerald Ford. Yet his message during the primary campaign had so inspired the party’s conservative base that he was allowed to address the Republican National Convention anyway. And as he addressed that convention, speaking of the Democrat-led attack on personal rights and economic liberty, many of those who listened could not help but think they were hearing the...  

  Yesterday on Twitter I started seeing links pop up to what looked to be a URL shortening service run by the Republican National Committee – www.gop.am.  The site has “gop” in the URL and has branding consistent with the main RNC site – www.gop.com.  So it seemed reasonable to assume it was put out by [...]

The Connecticut lawmaker and former Democratic vice presidential candidate-turned-Independent caused a huge stir when he spoke on John McCain's behalf at the Republican National Convention in 2008.

Good grief, can't anyone at the RNC get their head out of their ass? The new website launch in October was bad enough, but this idiocy?The Republican party took down its innovative link-shortening tool Tuesday for several hours after pranksters had a field day using the tool to associate the GOP with bondage sites.As part of its new media strategy, the Republican party launched a new site called
