POLITICO.com: RNC loses top fundraiser


by Ben Smith

In another serious blow to the Republican National Committee, one of its top fundraisers has resigned a senior, unpaid position.

Former Ambassador Sam Fox, a top supporter of George W. Bush who was one of the co-chairmen of the Republican Regents — the RNC's top-level fundraising board — has left the post, two Republican sources said. Fox had connections to the traditional GOP donor base

Fox, a Missouri businessman who was Bush's ambassador to Belgium, had access to the deep-pocketed Republican establishment and was viewed as the heaviest hitter among RNC fundraisers.

But Fox was "deeply troubled by the pattern of RNC self-inflicted wounds and missteps." Another major Republican fundraiser told Politico today that Fox had "lost confidence" in Steele.

Fox was also finding it difficult  to tap fellow wealthy Republicans for the RNC, the other fundraiser said.
