Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA), a potential presidential candidate, is voicing some skeptical notes about Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who is facing a large field of potential challenges as he seeks re-election this January.
As CNN reports, Gingrich says that if Steele wants to win another term, he will have to shake up his top staffing at the RNC, and deal with skepticism over the committee’s financial situation:
“Chairman Steele has to convince people that he will have dramatically stronger executive director and internal leader, or I think there will be a new leader,” Gingrich said.

“It’s clear that the committee has to pay off a very large debt and the committee has to focus on being dramatically more effective for 2012, and I think that members of the RNC got to make a decision about what the right way is to get to that,” he added.
