Website Seeks to Draft Sununu as RNC Chairman

Backers of outgoing Sen. John Sununu (R-N.H.) are pushing him to become the next Republican National Committee chairman.

A website, www.draftsununu.com, says that the one-term senator is the “right leader at the right time.”

“The Republican Party is at a crossroads,” the website reads. “We can select a leader who embraces the status quo or we can select a reformer, a new chairman who is a young, energetic and articulate leader who can re-build our party from the ground up.”

The website doesn’t list any contact information for the people who are behind it. The site also notes that it was started without any approval from Sununu himself.

Sununu, 44, lost his reelection bid last week against former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D).
