I like Michael Steele and hope he gets the nod for a second term as Republican Party Chairman, he delivered!

I have a particular liking for Michael Steele the current Chairman of the Republican Party. There was a blurb today that he has given notice to the 168 stiffs that make up the Republican National Committee that he wants to run for a second term and from just the results of this last election he should get the job, however there is one sticking point and that is he is not considered an insider, and that may pose some problems for him.

Mr. Steele managed to bridge the 'gap' with the Tea Party and the Republican Party and essentially helped to bring about the landslide election that recently took place, I am also, of the opinion that he will be able to duplicate these result in the upcoming 2012 elections if he is allowed to stay in his office. If the old guard that make up the RNC put one of their own into the job Mr. Steele currently holds I don't believe their results will more than likely not turn out nearly as well if only for the reason that Mr. Steele was fairly received by the people that make up the Tea Party and the rank and file membership of the Republican party as well.

There are a couple of old Bush administration people being tossed about for the job as well as an ambassador and several other Republican stalwarts but based on Steele's track record it seem foolish to me that anyone would would do anything that might possibly stall the current momentum that conservative has managed to create.

Part of his message to the RNC was "Our work is not done, and my commitment has not ended". As I believe very little that any politician says and also believe most to be insincere weasels I do believe him, well 50% anyway and that's a rock solid endorsement in my book.
