RNC Chairman’s Race, Round Two Goes To Priebus

RNC Chairman Michael Steele

The second ballot has been cast in the RNC Chairman’s race, and the winner, again, is Reince Priebus, with 52 votes.

The overall tally, in descending order:

Priebus: 52
Steele: 37
Cino: 30
Wagner: 27
Anuzis: 22

Maria Cino underperformed compared to round one, which will fuel speculation that Priebus parked some votes with her to set her up as his mano-a-mano opponent. This is just one of many unsourced lines of speculation floating around the convention center, bu it’s got plenty of traction. Steele, predictably, is sinking quickly — he lost seven votes between the first and second rounds.
