Steele sharpens steel?

It’s too late for anyone to get more delegates than Mitt, even in a one-on-one, short of Mitt being indicted for something. My number-crunching says the only chance to fend off a successful Mitt/Paul alliance is for either Newt or Rick to drop out and the other to perform well in the variations of winner-take-all states, sometimes surpassing 50% to collect all the delegates and successfully beating Romney for a plurality in many of the district contests where that is enough to let them take all the district delegates.

This only makes me more disappointed they got rid of Steele. Seems like the GOP-E wants to take the party back wholesale for the stiff, elite country-clubbers. Steele seemed like a guy from the grass roots who wanted to shake things up and it looks like he did it. To boot him out after the 2010 success seemed unconscionable. If his maneuvering was intended to surreptitiously stop Romney and it succeeds then he’s truly some kind of hero.

I'd like to be on board with you, I had high hopes for Steele. But then he does things like go on Bill Maher's program last Friday, and basically fails to defend our side against the attacks about "women", and wouldn't defend Virginia's ultrasound bill.

He has a habit of stabbing us in the back. It remains to be seen if his "brokered convention" is a good idea or not.
