Go Steele. If not Blackwell - and its pretty obvious thats the way it is - then Steele.

Duncan has failed us too many times, we can’t afford that any longer.

Who’s Mike Duncan? I have to presume he’s “their” man, since he’s winning with no publicity

They won’t learn it. We need Conservatives like Blackwell, not RINOs. But looking good for Steele. I prefer him to Duncan.

This could take a while. Nobody’s giving up just yet, but it doesn’t look promising for Duncan. Mind you, Steele isn’t running away with it either.

Did they take a break or did C-Span cut away?

They’re on a 10 minute break

Do they keep voting until someone gets 85 votes? Is there is a run off where the two candidates with most votes are on the ballot?

Who are Katon Dawson and Saul Anuzis? I'm not familiar with them. Which way would their supporters likely go if they had to choose between Duncan and Steele? Blackwell's would likely go for Steele in a two way race.

Dawson is the SC state chair, Anuzis is Michigan state chair. (or did I mix them up?)

I believe they just keep on voting until there’s a winner. The candidates with the fewest votes will eventually lose their votes, or trade away their votes and withdraw.

Dawson’s will go to Duncan. Anuzis could split.

Why didn’t the low man on the totem pole (Blackwell) be forced to drop off after the 1st vote? Could somebody explain the rules to me and if the low man will be eliminated in subsequent votes?

The thing is, we need a person who can present Republican ideas well in opposition to Obama.

Steele is that guy. If Duncan pulls it out, it is clear the GOP wants to lose again in two and four years.

Wow. I thought Blackwell was a favorite. Glad to see Steele doing well. So much for the handicappers.
