He's the real deal, no smoke and mirrors here.
It's wonderful to note that at least two of the contestants dropped out to endorse and work for Ken!
It will be an uphill fight to keep Steele from grabbing the post, however, as he's from the East Coast NY/DC political wing of the party and also a media "star" thanks to FOX.
Had Ken Blackwell been given as much on-air face time, I daresay, he'd be the only one at the top of the heap but then he, like Sara Palin, bucked the "insiders" in his own state party and not from the elitist wing!!!
He knows how to talk to ordinary people, especially in fly-over sections of the country and is easily understood and very likeable with a charming family.
Will he carry the water?
