Steele Seeks National GOP Post

So Michael Steele want to follow in the footsteps of Alan Keyes into the national limelight.

Let's hope Mr. Steele's trail of success will mimic that of Keyes'.

Anyone who is seriously contemplating Michael Steele as RNC Chair obviously does not live in Maryland--let alone PG County--where Mr. Steele's name is now synonymous with sleaze.

As an often independent who voted many times for Mac Matthias, Larry Hogan--and who would have voted for Helen Bentley had the MD Republican party been intelligent enough to nominate her instead of Ellen Sauerbrey, I think I can tell you what the Republican party needs. We need real problem solvers like Tim Pawlenty or Bobby Jindal, Republicans of untarnished character, who have worked bi-partisanly on many issues. Mr. Steele never accomplished the only real project given to him by Bob Ehrlich--reporting on death sentencing rates by race--and merely served as Ehrlich's hatchet man. This past election proved Barbara Mikulski's famous quote after defeating Linda Chavez--"in Maryland, dirty politics is losing politics." Steele's participation in Ehrlich's slimey actics in PG County, where homeless Philly men distributed fraudulent election flyers left his state's citizens with a bad taste in their mouth. Please don't think he will save the Republican Party--far from it. He and Palin will bury it.

Like Alan Keyes, he needs to get a real job.
