The RNC Chairman Race: Steele Drops Out, Endorses Cino.

This is really lousy news. Cino is the worst of the bunch, a flaming pro-abort, pro-amnesty liberal.
Obviously Da Boyz leaned on Steele to drop out, and probably told him who to endorse.
The Tea Party has zero input into this process. We will end up FAR WORSE than before, going into the most critical election of our lifetimes.
Wow- Priebus is leading
I think he is the best of that list- outsider not lifelong insider
Here are the fourth-round results:
• Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus 58
• Former Bush administration official Maria Cino 29
• Incumbent Michael Steele 28
• Former Missouri Republican Party Chairwoman Ann Wagner 28
• Former Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis 24
In the third round of voting, Priebus was first with 54; Steele was next with 33; Wagner moved into third place with 32 votes; Cino received 28; and Anuzis got 21.
In the second round of voting, Priebus came in first with 52 votes; Steele was next with 37; Cino followed with 30; Wagner received 27; and Anuzis had 22.
Steele put up a strong showing in the first round. He took 44 votes, only one fewer than Priebus. Cino finished in third place, with 32 votes, while Anuzis received 24 and Wagner got 23.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT PRIEBUS?
