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.

Thank you for your take, FRiend. You are very knowedgeable. But my gut’s telling me that Steele is a lot like Colin Powell.
