The only problem with Steele is, while he is one Black Conservative who could win the support of Blacks and Whites (and others alike), he probably would be attacked by liberals for only having the experience of being Maryland GOP Chairman and being Maryland Lt. Governor (even through it is definitely more experience than Obama has, especially some executive experience).
Hutchison, while she supports legalized abortions, would probably be more creditable as a VP candidate, due to her extensive political experience (which is certainly more than Hillary Clinton’s).
Didn’t Steele just lose a big Senate race? Not someone who has been able to win the support of Blacks.
