If you were running for RNC chair, would it advisable to treat a state chairman this way? From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Concern over getting U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss across the finish line apparently kept some intra-Republican tensions from breaking out into the open.
But with the election a thing of the past, so is discretion. Most disturbing to many GOPers was the snubbing of state Republican Chairman Sue Everhart at Tuesday’s victory party in her home county of Cobb.
This is from an e-mail now circulating among the GOP grassroots:
The blight on this Victory was when Tom Perdue, Campaign Manager and another Saxby employee physically blocked our State Party Chairman from going on the stage to share in this great Victory for Georgia Republicans.
Everhart was livid, we hear. And Mike Duncan, who’s running for another term as chairman of the RNC, was left hanging in the wind. He was allowed on stage, and given a speaking role. But he was asked to remove any mention of Everhart from a list of people who required Chambliss’ thanks.
