Man of Steele
Former Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele has been elected the new Chairman of the Republican National Committee. He’s also the first African-American to head the RNC. (Now that’s change!)
It took several (six actually) ballots. Steele garnered major support when former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell dropped out of the race and endorsed him. In addition to Blackwell, Steele also beat former Chair Mike Duncan, South Carolina Chairman Katon Dawson and Saul Anuzis of the Michigan GOP.
Steele beat Dawson 91-77 votes. This is so what the GOP needed. The old ways of doing business were not working at all. Plus, Steele can do a better job criticizing the President than a Southerner. No offense, but that’s reality. Deal with it.
