LAS VEGAS-The Republican National Committee announced new chairs for their 2008 fundraising effort  in an e-mail today.  The Nevada list is short on surprises, except that Steve Wynn, who has generally contributed to candidates from both political parties, is listed as an honorary co-chair.

The list names William Weidner, president and COO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, as chairman with Sig Rogich, president of Rogich Communications Group, as co-chair.

"This is another important step in building a finance organization that will ensure Senator McCain and Republicans have the resources to reach out to voters all over the country," said Victory 2008 Finance Chairman Lew Eisenberg.  "The 2008 Victory Finance Chairs will serve as the backbone of a network of supporters solely focused on building relationships in each of these states as we move forward to victory."

The honorary co-chairs include Wynn, Sheldon Adelson, CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, and Terri Lanni, CEO of MGM/Mirage.
