Former RNC Chairs Launch New Political Action Group

Fourteen months after being tossed aside for Michael Steele, former RNC Chairman Mike Duncan is at the helm of American Crossroads, a group aiming to raise $52 million “from corporations and wealthy conservatives” to win the 2010 elections.

The new American Crossroads organization will be run by former RNC Chairman Mike Duncan and Joanne Davidson, a onetime RNC co-chair. Former RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie and former White House adviser Karl Rove are informally advising the organization.

Not entirely different from what happened in 2005 and 2006, when critics of Howard Dean within the Democratic Party formed their own efforts.
