RNC to Investigate What Went Wrong

The RNC “is rolling out a plan to review what worked and what didn’t for the party in the 2012 cycle,” Politico reports.

“The plan is to focus on: campaign mechanics, fundraising, demographics, messaging, outside groups, campaign finance, the national primary process and, last but not least, what the successful Democratic efforts revealed about the way forward, and recommend plans for the way forward.”

However, BuzzFeed reports that two of the people leading the effort — former Bush spokesman Ari
Fleischer and Republican committeeman Henry Barbour — pushed the
narrative that the polls were skewed, and Mitt Romney would ultimately
prevail.
