OK...I misread that.

Anyhow, my main concerns about Michael Steele are that he’s a bit squishy (squishier than Newt, IMO), and he has no real track record of electoral success. I mean, he won Lt. Gov., but then lost pretty badly for Gov., as I recall. And I think Maryland is one of those states where the Gov. and Lt. Gov. run together on a ticket.

Correct. Michael Steele is a good man. He is a good conservative. He is an African American. The Conservative Party seems desperate for African Americans to join us, but that seems only a dream. Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Powell Jr. and many others were put in positions of power in the Republican Party and did not embrace Conservatism. Rice want to get out and go into football. Colin Powell showed himself a liberal. J C. Watts got out and became a minister. The African Americans are not going to embrace the Conservative Party - Movement. It's "selling out' to them. Like that business about not joining the "middle class" because it's selling out.

The Hispanics are becoming the 'new African Americans' with the drugs, gangs, out-of-wedllock births and males not raising their children nor marrying the mothers...embracing the Latino hip-hop culture only in Spanish, it's "selling out" to study and work hard to achieve or succeed.

Our well of citizens to bring into the Conservative Party - Movement is running low.
