Since Ian at Hot Air Printed My E-mail to the RNC, I Guess I Should Post It Here
His adding my e-mail to his Hot Air post is much appreciated, and here it is (I would have re-read it if I’d known it would get posted elsewhere, so excuse the edits — ugh):
Dear GOP,
As a member of the base you appear to be abandoning, allow me to make two points:
- The current apparent pick is a sitting Senator, and no matter how worthy he may be as a person, putting someone who actually is voting on laws and resolutions (in charge) is inappropriate bordering on irrational.
- Michael Steele ran such a stellar campaign to get as far as he did in the Maryland Senate race. He is a passionate and outstanding spokespersonthatwho the party could rally around. Frankly, selecting anyone else would be foolish.I am surely supported by millions of other Republicans BEGGING you to PLEASE select Michael Steele.
I’m afraid that the above and 99 cents will get you a cup of coffee at your local GasMart, if you know what I mean.

UPDATE 2: Steele got 93% in the Hot Air poll, Martinez 1.5%, and “other” the rest.
Whose party? Whose chairman?…
The RNC hasn’t had a chance to vote on this yet. There’s still six weeks until the RNC meets in January, and that’s six weeks to get up a posse of pissed-off bloggers, talk-radio hosts and ordinary grassroots Republicans to raise so much holy hell t…

Paxil for conservatives should be part of the prescription drug plan. It’s hard to imagine the news being more depressing. And to be betrayed by the White House on top of it.

I have to agree that Steele was the right man, for many reasons. First, he is able to articulate the message in a way that most people find appealing(compare that with Scream-Dean). Second, it is time to captalize on the growing unrest the black community has with the dem party(Maryland is just a micro-cosm of what is going on). And finally, Steele is hot, coming off of a strong campaign in a blue state and a tidal wave of anger at the GOP(most coming from it’s own base), he would have won handily in any other election cycle. It appeared the GOP could do no wrong the last six years when it came to making decisions such as these….but no so any longer…

#5, and then to have the apparent actual selection be a sitting Senator, while Howard Dean gets to do his thing unencumbered, is soooo weak.
