Michael Steele - the party starting to end?


Reports today that top Republicans at the RNC are starting to have enough of Michael Steele.

I'm still kind of amazed he got the job in the first place. I know the GOP saw the lesson of the 2008 election results as "we need high profile minorities" rather than "our policies failed the country for 8 years", but Steele was still an odd choice. I remember watching his failed Senate campaign and thinking he was kind of a goof, who made all kinds of odd statements, and didn't run a particularly good campaign. And in his brief run as RNC chair he is pretty much doing the same, talking about how he is going to appeal to urban voters with an "off the hook" message, picking fights with Rush Limbaugh, and showing a general lack of organizational or strategic ability over at the RNC. It will be interesting to see how long he keeps that job.
