RNC race gets pricy, nasty

With just two weeks to go before Republican National Committee (RNC) members meet to choose a chairman, the race has become a full-blown game of political hopscotch, and as the stakes get higher, bubbling animosity toward several candidates threatens to spill into the public realm.

Not content with calling the 168 voting RNC members at home or on their cell phones, the six candidates are traveling throughout the country for personal meetings. The pace has grown fast and furious, with candidates spending what may amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars on private and commercial air transportation.

"On a per capita basis, this is maybe the most expensive race in political Republican history," said one undecided RNC member from the West who asked not to be named. The Westerner will meet with all six candidates within a week and a half. "We have never seen a competition as expensive or as fierce as this competition."

Undecided — or undeclared — national committee members are on the receiving end of a deluge of hundreds of e-mails a day, augmented by phone calls from each candidate's whip team and reams of mail from the campaigns.

1. It's like dropping a pork chop into a pit of starving morbidly obese sociopaths!

What won't they do for that little bit of temporary sustenance to stave off the inevitable?
