The bar was set low for Pete Sessions (R-Dallas) when he took over as campaign leader for Congressional Republicans. His party lost the majority in 2006 and gave up another 21 seats in 2008. Even so, Sessions has managed to dramatically underachieve since his appointment to head the NRCC. In fact, a series of embarrassing public comments, his failure to gain financial support from colleagues and donors, and the loss of a Congressional special election where Republicans had a clear advantage certainly call Sessions’ competence into question - and make it fair to wonder whether he will survive in his current post.

Even prominent fellow Republicans are shaking their heads trying to figure out Pete Sessions' bizarre comments. After Sessions spun a wild conspiracy theory earlier this week claiming that President Obama wanted to sabotage the economy, fellow Texan and Senate Republican Campaign Chairman, John Cornyn, flatly rejected the odd-ball theory, saying "I don’t know where he’s coming from," and that “I’d like some sort of clarification about what he meant.” (Source: The Dallas Morning News, May 13, 2009) It has gotten so bad for Sessions that this week Democrats began referencing his antics in fundraising letters. (Source: Congressional Quarterly, May 14, 2009) It's still early in the 2010 election cycle and national Republicans have a high level of tolerance for wacky statements and political incompetence. Just the same, like a baseball team that must change managers before the season gets out of hand, Republican leaders may need to reconsider their choice of Pete Sessions as Chair of the National Republican Campaign Committee ...
