Michael Steele elected RNC chair
2009-01-30
He's a good man, probably the best of the available candidates.

#12  I've been a fan of Michael Steele since before he ran for the Senate in MD. I am very happy he is the new RNC Chair. Steele represents the new class of conservatives that the party needs to cultivate and put forward. A very smart and very nice guy but no pushover by any means. He's young-ish, good on camera, and can articulately communicate solid conservative values.

Great news!

#11  I wish him the best of luck and fully expect that he'll do a damn good job considering the trunks won't be getting any press for at least a year. Unless there's one to bash.

#10  Sharp guy who actually "gets" new media. The Republicans may actually turn things around. That is, if there's still a country left after the Donks are through with it.

#9  Nice return to principles. Michael Steele is an admirable conservative, well-spoken, smart, intelligent, and, oh-yeah, he's black. Expect all the attention on the last part. Our MSM outrage machine needs its' lube and talking points. Fuck em. Are they against the Rep's including an "African-American" among its' leadership? If so, why shouldn't they (the doubters) be defined as racists? Please blog/comment on, so the record can be built, lying MSM MF'ers!

#8  I voted for Blackwell for Ohio Gov. sent campaign donation to Steele in Maryland, both solid Conservatives. Maybe this will shut up George Will and the get-alongs.

#6  Ohio's Ken Blackwell, another Black conservative, was in the running for the job, too. Interesting, that.

#4  I cannot believe that the Repubs made a smart decision. Knock me over with a feather!

#3  YES!!

I'm just happy the previous joker is out. He did more damage to the Republican brand name then McCain did.

#2  But...he's a BLACK GUY!
Are Republicans allowed to do that?
