Impy is hoping that Steele could run for senate in Maryland and become part of the solution rather than part of the problem. I don’t know. McStain certainly has created problems as a senator. I can’t imagine Steele changing for the better if he loses his chairmanship.
Some people are scared that Steele would race-bait even more if we dump him. The problem is, he’s doing it anyway, and RNC is diminishing.
In article:
“Meanwhile, his fundraising record has been mediocre, and now major donors are deserting the RNC in droves.”
I like to think that contributions to CONSERVATIVES is at record highs, but I really don’t know.
I think Americans are ALREADY sick of the race card and would find Steele getting canned refreshing. It is tempting to let him stay and just work around the jerk. The theory is that we can win despite Steele, but if he joins the other side, it’s a risk that he’ll turn on us full force. Sickening.
The other side? Steele won’t join the rats if that’s what you mean.
He’s not the leader some thought he was but he’s no democrat. You may wonder about many GOP “leaders”. Occam’s razor would tell us they are just idiots not DNC plants.
He’s highly gaffe prone but he’s no worse than his predecessor the incompetent Mike Duncan. The difference is Duncan didn’t get much press since he was never as high profile due to his serving under a GOP President.
He deserves to be canned. But the process is difficult and I think it requires a supermajority of RNC members. They won’t try it unless certain of success. If the desire to see him go becomes that strong I believe he’d resign under pressure before being removed.
I expect unless the Senate idea comes into play that’ll he’ll stay on for the rest of his two-year term and face a reelection challenge in 2011. He’s not helping our midterm chances but ironically the better the midterm results the less likely it is he’d be defeated.
