Steele bows out, endorses Cino

Michael Steele just bowed out of the race for RNC chairman after trailing in the first four rounds of balloting.

He then said he is backing Maria Cino’s candidacy.

Steele receives a standing ovation for WHAT?

Being a incompetent, big-mouth, show-boat, Narcissistic RINO?

[MNlurker]

Standing ovation from the RNC for wanting nothing to do with the Tea Party and now being in financial ruin.

And this organization wants us to fund it so it can work against our best interests... LOL
