I heard him on Bill Bennett’s MiA when he filled in. Steele had great praise for her from what I remember. He did not have an automatic knee-jerk reaction against her like many DC/power structure republicans seem to be having.

Palin's strongest supporter on the RNC (that actually has a vote) is probably Morton Blackwell from VA (no relation to Ken Blackwell). Morton served in Reagan's 1st administration, is president of the Conservative Leadership Institute, and has been very influential in the party for over 20 years.

Watch who he supports. As of a few days ago, he was uncommitted but had sent out a very detailed questionnaire to the candidates.
