I have been very critical of the NCGOP in the past. But the new chair...committee members are on fire and listenning to the folks! Fix bayonets and charge!!!!!!!!

I nominate Liz Cheney as Steele’s replacement.
Big donors and others will giving nothing until Steele is ousted.
I don’t know if Steele stepping down would help or hurt, honestly.
Steele has been a big disappointment, of course. He’s not come across well in most of the interviews I’ve seen, and I don’t think he’s done the best job getting the Republican party moving forward. Some Republicans have done well, but that’s been as much about backlash against the Democrats’ early bungling as anything. November presents a huge opportunity for the GOP, and I’m not sure Steele is the guy who can make the most of it.
OTOH, Steele may be the best we can hope for in the short term. Toppling the RNC chair just six or seven months before a crucial off-year election probably won’t solve anything, and could be disastrous. Anyone who steps in will have to move quickly to get himself established in the role in order to be effective by November. And not all of the issues plaguing the party (RINO’s etc) will simply vanish with Steele’s resignation. It may be better for the GOP to go into November with the cards it’s holding, and deal with any needed changes after the election.
Steele is a RINO, they’ve all got to move on.
I want Steele out also.
Hell, I want ALL RINO turds out and Steele is but one of many RINO turds.
Enough of this horse crap, let’s grow the party by becomming dem lite.
Real conservatives or go fish.
The only way that the Dems can win in November is to have us eat our own which we are really good at it seems. People that know say Steele is a good fundraiser in tough times here. Palin sees the danger of eating our own as do some others. We are in the driver’s seat for November so let’s not forget who we at war with here. If you have a candidate you like send the money directly to them and you do not have to deal with the RNC. Just a thought.
I’m in the minority here, I know.
Whether you like Michael Steele or not, is of no moment here. (Had it been up to me, I’d have chosen Ken Blackwell. I delayed my move from Ohio to S. Utah in order to vote for him in the governor’s race.)
Please, let’s channel our inner Reagan here. No circular firing squads. As SP said, if we want him out, vote him out at the end of his term.
The measurement of a party chair, especially in off year elections, is results. Whether we like it or not, the wins of Christie, McDonnell, and Brown have occurred on M. Steele’s watch, as did the loss of NY-23. That’s the yardstick, good or bad.
Who benefits from strife at the top of the GOP, as we face nearly historic gains in the mid-term elections?
The LSM
Olbermann
Matthews (and his tingly leg)
Obama
We need to cut the crap for now and line up behind Steele. To do anything less is going to (once again, as the stupid party is wont to do) snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory.
The left is looking to change the subject on their disastrous policies.
Let’s not give it to them, on a doily covered silver platter.
I think Governor Palin has the right approach:
Support Mr. Steele in public, while making (darn) sure Steele is replaced at the end of his term, which is fast approaching.
He’s a mess, but he’s our mess.
Focus on the real opposition please. :)
I hate this brazen "tough it out" crap that Clinton started where nobody seems to have the grace to quit when they've done a bad job.
North Carolina is Ratland, has been for over a hundred years IIRC. This is suspicious.
BUMP!
