YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Michael Steele for VP..

:)

[South40]

Never happen.

I've said this before.

My family has had business relationships with the Steele family. I've met him. Mr. Steele is nice; but it was strange that he supported a major RINO congressman over a conservative in the Maryland primary season.

Steele has never won an election on his own. Considering him as prime GOP talent is, to understate it, over reaching.

[bad company]

That would actually get me to vote for the republican ticket instead of just against the socialist one. Doubt if it'll happen though. Hope to see him in the senate soon though.

[ottbmare]

What happened to that man makes me ashamed to admit I’m from Maryland. The people of this state are irredeemably stupid for failing to elect him.

[RichardW]

I certainly like him. He is infinitely more qualified that that phony con man Obama. He speaks well. Knows the issues. He would certainly make my “A” team.

[Senator Goldwater]

I already voted for him as my lieutenant governor and as my senator, so I would very much be proud to vote for Michael Steele as my vice president.

My tagline is a plea for a conservative black VP. Doesn't need a tremendous resume - how great actually is Obama's resume? But he must model the sort of inclusive attitude which Thomas Sowell embodies - and which is direly lacking both in Barak and in Michelle Obama.

He doesn't need an outstanding resume, because he would be a frank affirmative action hire. It is perfectly legitimate to apply affirmative action criteria to that position, because the restriction against a VP nominee winning the electoral votes of his home state if his presidential running mate is from the same state is actually an affirmative action provision.

But Steele would like to see an African-American on a national Republican ticket, "either now or down the road,” arguing that "we have an enormously important history when it comes to the social, civil, and political empowerment of African-Americans," and Republicans "don't have to jump up and down and wave our arms and say, 'Gee, see what we've done,'" The Maryland man nonetheless concedes that, "unfortunately, today, politics has denigrated to that extent.”

Interesting word choice.

I’d be ok with it. But, still, I prefer J.C.Watts.

Michael Steele would be a horrible pick for VP on a McCain ticket.

McCain and Steel and John Danforth and Christie Todd Whitman, among others, are part of the "Its my party too" movement to liberalize the Republican Party.

John McCain has not had trouble with Conservatives by accident, he dislikes us.

Steele and Ridge and Whitman and McCain are a very dangerous group of people who intend to marginalize the religious right and the Conservative branches of the Republican Party.

[Elsiejay]

I wrote to the DNC three days ago urging that Steele be McC’s running mate. He has a lot of plusses, in addition to his innate ability to neutralize one of the DimRat’s favorite tools, the race card.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Mark Sanford is the best VP choice for McCain, IMHO, but I still think that McCain will pick Charlie Crist for VP.

Michael Steele is one of the few veep choices I wholeheartedly endorse. Romney gives me the shivers.
