Steele drops re-election bid, Priebus to head GOP
GOP Chairman Michael Steele has dropped his re-election bid amid declining support as the Republican National Committee, facing a $22 million debt and an internal war over the party's identity or something, voted to elect a new chairman.

"I will step aside because I think the party is ready for something different," Steele told the committee after doing poorly in four rounds of balloting. He endorsed challenger Maria Cino and called for the party to be unified as we it seeks to topple President Barack Obama in 2012.
