I have been seding emails there for 6 years, I have no idea if it does any good.
There is an excellent post which will be available shortly. The Ambassador to the European Union was a recess appointment in January - Steele can take over the role. He can gain foreign policy experience which will assist a VP bid.

Exactly!
Guys, you are making it sound like Martinez is some wife beatin Zoot zuited gang banger from East LA because he has a Spanish surname. The word "Hispanic" is very misleading - we are not all boogey men you know and Martinez is a Cuban American - very different from some dude swimming the Rio Grande. Way different. That being said - I don't think he is the right guy though. They should of got fiesty ileana ros leithen from Fla to do the job.
As posted earlier - look at his actual votes - which include his vote / support for Bush's amnesty for illegal's bill
The article said he would remain in office, and be the spokesperson for the RNC, plus take a role as fundraiser. An assistant will also take some responsibilities.
I don't think he has shown any abilities as a spokesperson. He's been in the background, not know for speaking up and he certainly is not a spokesperson for conservative values.
"Under the arrangement, Martinez will remain in office and serve as the party's lead spokesman as well as take a major role in fundraising and political outreach, while RNC General Counsel Robert (Mike) Duncan will oversee the committee's day-to-day responsibilities. "
I hope it is all right to post an excerpt.
What do you like about him?
He has nothing going for him that I can see.
That's my problem as well! I want someone out and front who is not afraid to dish out. Kumbaya is getting on my nerves!
Dean was nothing but a puppet for the DNC to keep the base in line
Rahm Emanuel was the one that was calling the shots and making the planning
Don't worry; a bunch of posters would be here freaking out if Steele were chosen, complaining about much the same things.
A distinct possibility, huh? Interesting.
According to the ACU ratings, Mel Martinez scored a perfect 100% in 2005.
OH, and one more thing -
HISPANIC is not a race - it is a cultre where you can be of any race.
Is there anyone better?
Is he? His ACU rating in 2005 was a perfect 100%.
Brightest ? You have to be kidding. Have you ever really listened to him? Not too impressive.
Maybe not. His ACU rating in 2005 was a perfect 100%.
"Great. It's time to pull out the big guns, and the 'Pubs produce a .22"
More like a water pistol than a big gun. Something a child would play with, doesn't look like they mean business.

I'm not sure where you're getting that people here have a problem with his being a "Hispanic". In fact, I'm pretty sure nobody here cares what ethnicity or culture he's from. They're just worried he's not the right guy for the job based on his voting record and charisma-challenged personality.
