[Grand Old Partisan]

Soon you'll be hearing plenty about "Back to Basics for the Republican Party" (www.republicanbasics.com), which Michael Steele tells the press is his "favorite book".

I don't know anything about Michael Steele's background except that he was head of the Maryland GOP for awhile before being selected to run with Erlich. Is he, by any chance, related to that conservative intellectual powerhouse, Shelby Steele? That would be great.

Thanks!
