Michael Steele for Republican National Chairman? Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (R), who came up just short yesterday in his Senate race against Rep. Ben Cardin (D), is mulling a bid for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, according to an informed GOP source.

How 'bout Steel for VP when Cheney decides enough is enough?
something can be worked out -- Steele is terrific on TV -- imagine the GOP having an articulate minority spokesperson!
I'd love it!
Love the idea.
I also don't think he's a bad guy - just an incompetent one. I hope Steele gets some prominent position, because he's definitely a rising star.
We need the new blood in the party, I think this would be great. Besides, I understand he has a good credit score
PS - one of the claims for victory in CA is that many of the best RNC guys that used to work in Bush campaign in 2004 left RNC 8 months ago and came west to rescue Arnold.
I was impressed with him.
Yes. I like this. Also, there should be a place for Irey. She had such an uphill climb, but ran a good campaign, despite the outcome.
Mehlman is fine. Steele cannot be head of RNC. Her ran as a RINO. But he would do a great job working at RNC.
Well, "time for a change" is the theme so might as well run with it. Not a bad guy? Well, you know what they say about nice guys. Let's put some Steele back into the party's backbone!
I don't think Mehlman's bad either. What's the normal protocol though, don't they usually leave after an election anyhow?
I think Steele has a VERY BRIGHT future in the republican party. (if there's still a party after today, woe is me /sar)
Wonder what the over/under is on how many times in the first six months he's mistaken for the "help" by the country club Republicans?
Santorum?
Wait you mean the Republicans would consider a black man heading the RNC..... will wonders never cease.
I thought we were all racists, sexists, bigots and homophobes.....
Seriously, Steele would be a GREAT leader and not because of color but because "IT CONSERVATISM STUPID" is the truth and he is that.
Were do WE vote for RNC Chair?
I am speachless.....what a way to turn things around! The irony would be exquisite! I would only be concerned that Steele would be harmed by association(not in my mind)...
Playing RINO is a bad deal because if folks want a DEM. They can just elect one.
Incidentally, I'm saddened that the Washington Post won't be eating Steele anytime soon. I was truly looking forward to that.
