Good, Steele is a good conservative. Plus he has a great charisma on tv and can communicate well. The GOP needs a new public face that can connect with people.

And, yes its a plus that he can be critical of Obama without having to worry about being called racist.

A HUUUGE plus! We can drop the racial stuff and actually talk about ideology - it's 2009 for goodness sakes!

The Left has been using race as a crutch for a looong time to the extent it is beginning to appear as the cheap facade that it is. Do they REALLLY care about blacks, the poor, etc., or do they care about VOTES? No one in their right mind can deny the inhuman treatment blacks received up until the 60's, and pockets of racism after that. I want blacks to succeed. I want whites and browns and yellows and reds to succeed too. In fact, color is IRRELEVANT when it comes to fair policy that rewards hard work and ingenuity - rather than simple favors for voting the "right way".

Anyways, go get 'em, Michael!!!

“And, yes its a plus that he can be critical of Obama without having to worry about being called racist.”

I appreciate your optimism, but is that like a black policeman not being called a racist when he pulls over a black man?

The standard for the (racist) democrat party is that a black man is only black when and if he belongs to the party. Take Barack for instance... you would think he is a black man and nothing else, when his mother is white. They are willing to throw away ancestry and ancestors with it if it promotes their cause.

To them, Michael Steele is nothing but a white man in a brown suit. To us, he may be a champion but the democrats and the mainstream media will never be convinced.

(examples include but are not limited to Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice...)
