I wish I could be excited about this selection, but I’m afraid I’m not. Steele was near the bottom in my preference (only Duncan and Anuzis were openly worse in sheer incompetence). His closeness to the RINO problem is readily apparent, his association with Christie Whitman (one of the singlemost disastrous and destructive RINO Governors of the past 30 years) and his endorsement of ex-Congressman Gilchrest (who is now a Democrat by all accounts) over Andy Harris (when Bob Ehrlich, who was once considered more lib than Steele, endorsed Harris) was very troubling and solidified my worries that he was on the wrong side. Katon Dawson was the most accomplished and successful of the candidates, and Blackwell of OH was my 2nd preference (and he aggressively went after the RINO cancer in Ohio that has crippled the party there). Steele will have to prove himself from his very recent errors and inclinations. I fear the worst, but I hope to be proven wrong.
Oh, come on Charlie Brown. You know Lucy ALWAYS lets you kick that football!
thank you
