If Sarah Palin can win this intra-party battle by 2010, she can resign her chairmanship position at that point and quickly move to center stage as the Republican Party's presidential nominee standard bearer, with the whole party behind her as her just reward.
His earlier comment about 2016 or 2020 not withstanding, I think this may be what Steele is now offering Palin at this time.

Agreed, but I dispute any scenario where Michael Steele
“offers” Sarah Palin anything. THAT is not within his power to do. There is a “new ballgame” forming, and few people see it clearly enough to want to comment on it, but many millions of us feel and sense it. Michael Steele is a virtual hologram as far as his “influence” with voters goes, though, obviously he has some status ( as his job title suggests) with this abstract entity still called “the GOP”. The “official” GOP is fading fast , and is becoming a relic. IT IS THE VOTERS THAT MATTER-—people that don’t take their cues from even FOX NEWS as to who the real “Contenders” are for the Republican Party. Most of the “pushing” against Palin has come from the Left, of course, and we all know why they hate her and resent her. My point is, it will be clear to Palin supporters over time, that an equal amount of pushing against Sarah will come from whatever is left of the Republican Establishment, a political entity that means absolutely nothing to me, and millions like me. THere is bound to be a serious backlash against them as this effort to devalue Sarah becomes clear as an “unofficial co- project” of both GOP Establishment,
and the DNC. They (the RINOS) had better get smart and step aside, if the scenario I see as likely actually unfolds/
