#1 he'd have to improve to be "just incompetent". Replace him!

#2 Frank G,

The RNC chairman doesn't set poilcy and doesn't select candidates. The RNC raised $175 million under Steele's watch not to mention the Pubs made a historic gains. So I'm a bit confused. How is he incompetent? Just askin...

#3 They succeeded despite him. Google Steele RNC incompetence. A sample:
Qando, Redstate, Betsy's Page, WaPo, His Afghan War Comments he had to backtrack from

basically the guy should be raising money, raising money, and raising money while building a GOTV effort. Instead HE became the story all too often. When he was picked, I thought it was a good pick because his prior efforts seemed capable and smart. I was wrong. The GOP had a blockbuster year despite him, mostly out of dislike for Donk overreach as well as the rise of the Tea Party

#4 ...basically the guy should be raising money, raising money, and raising money...

Agreed. So let's put it another way, the RNC hauled in over $175 million this cycle. That was 34% more than previous record set by DNC in 2006. And that ain't chump change. Guess I was looking at the bottom line not style points - but I catch yer drift.

#5 he can point to that exemplary amount of money, and rehabilitate his image and come back....later. I think he's a smart guy, despite recent history, but I'd rather he's replaced. 2012 is standing ahead as a real turning point in this nation's course, if we do well. I'd like the best person in the spot, and I just think it's not Steele, right now.

#6 RNC under Steele blew things by not funding nor working GOTV nationally - it cost them the Buck race in Colorado for instance.
