The Steele-Rush duel

Obama's plan to make Rush Limbaugh the public face of today's GOP is looking more and more brilliant all the time. In an Obama vs. Rush debate, the American people will choose Obama every single time, and you can see that in all the recent polling. Now the actual RNC leader, Michael Steele, is pushing back. But I'm not sure how much better Steele is than Rush when it comes to the public face of a political party. All in all, I think every day the GOP spends deciding who officially represents them between Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele is a day the Democrats won.

"Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said in an interview with CNN that he, rather than Limbaugh, is "the de facto leader of the Republican Party." And Steele described Limbaugh as a performer. "Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh's whole thing is entertainment," Steele said. "Yes, it is incendiary. Yes, it is ugly.""
