Remember why Steele was picked. RNC memebers had reservations about Ken Blackwell’s competence after losing by 30 points against Ted Strickland. They also feared the PR nightmare about electing Kat Dawson, SC Chair, who had membership in a whites only country club. It goes to reflect how the GOP lacks quality leadership.

I was one of those guys. Blackwell's bona fides as a conservative are without question. But, I wasn't convinced then, nor am I now that he had the communication skill set to be an effective advocate for the GOP.

I didn't in my wildest dreams, imagine Steele would go off the reservation so quickly, so completely and so miserably. Suffice to say, it is a very weak bench in the GOP leadership team.
