IMHO, Steele was propped up by establishment GOP to put a "colored" face of leadership on the Republican party so as to show racially equal opposition to teh Obamasiah. If that was their intent, I would have suggested they gave the position to former Ambassador Alan Keyes. At least I know he's a true Reagan conservative.
Mo- there may have been some of that since there are some in the party who think race pandering will deliver the black vote, but it wasn't the major factor imo. Steele had been the conservative LT Gov. of Maryland who had just waged a decent campaign for the senate. At the time he seemed a decent choice on the merits.
Didn't we do this before?
Rodger, yes, and not long ago!
The sad part is we could have had both (race pandering and competence, though I would settle for just the 2nd part) with Ken Blackwell. Instead we got Mikey "shuck and jive with Al Sharpton" Steele
Exactly, that's the solution. Ken is the real deal. Hard to cry racism when you're replaced with a black former NFL lineman.
