WASHINGTON (AP) - A senior Republican National Committee strategist quit Tuesday, leaving behind a scathing resignation letter that blasts Chairman Michael Steele for spending as much as 70 percent of donations on fundraising and credits other GOP groups for the party's gains.
RNC political director Gentry Collins delivered to RNC members and Steele a five-page outline of where he views the party as it heads into 2012's presidential election: broke and badly in need of repair.
Despite results on Nov. 2 that gave Republicans control of the House and gains elsewhere, Collins' farewell on RNC letterhead is a clear summary of the challenges Steele would face should he seek to remain in charge beyond January, as well as a playbook for defeating him if Steele runs for another term.
