Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele faces an all-but-impossible path to reelection this month, as a majority of the RNC’s 168 members indicate that they will not support the controversial chairman for another term.
A weeklong canvass of the party’s governing board by POLITICO revealed 88 members who have decided not to vote for Steele, either opting to support one of his opponents or simply ruling out Steele as a choice in the race.
Fifty-five members, some of whom have endorsed one of Steele’s challengers, have signaled that they will not support the chairman under any circumstances. An additional 33 pledged their support elsewhere.
Just as telling, not a single member of the committee said that Steele was their second choice in the race – a grave indicator in a contest likely to be decided in multiple ballots.
Further, whip counts kept by several of the chairman's opponents suggest the Anybody-but-Steele bloc could be even larger, including as many as 90 to 100 members.

And you do know that will be his reply. I hope he loses this post. He has added nothing to the debate and looks foolish most of the time.
“..What don’t these fools get about how to win elections? ..”
Which has to lead one, inevitably, to the conclusion that the GOP “ruling elite” are in bed with the Dem elite.
There’s no other explanation that I can see. November SHOULD have been a massive slap in the face to BOTH parties.
We’ll see...
The race card is the refuge of bottom feeders.
