Former MD Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele won the Republican National Committee chairmanship today on the sixth ballot.
The final vote: Steele, 91, and SC GOP chairman Katon Dawson, 77.
Steele, 50, also defeated the incumbent RNC chairman, Mike Duncan, who withdrew earlier in the contest.
"As a little boy growing up in this town, this is awesome," Steele said, addressing members of the RNC. "It is with a great deal of humility and a sense of service that I accept and appreciate and thank all of you for the opportunity to serve as the next national chairman."
Steele, the first African American chairman of the RNC, serves as head of GOPAC. He is perhaps best known, however, for his regular appearances on FOX News.

So, is this good news?

:rocker:

I think so.
I have liked what I've heard from Steele.
Prepare for claims of tokenism and Uncle Tom from the left, all of whom are racists.

They have already started at DU. So predictable.

Steele seems like he's a good man for the job. W00t.

I have heard very good things about him. He, Jindal and Palin are going to a formidable team.

15. Day traders should buy shares of Oreo Cookies. There's gonna be run on them!
It figure the republicans would elect the black guy blacks don't like. They're doomed. The bank was ready to foreclose on his house as he was running for Lt. Governor. The campaign paid him enough to save his house. But I hope he has fun telling his Former Boss Bob Ehrlich (R) where he may and may not speak. Turn about is fair play.

There are a ton of threads over there, all saying he is hopeless and this is a big mistake for the Republicans. If I didn't know better I'd say they were worried. :-)

Effing A this is good news!!!
He is an outstanding spokesman and a great guy.

I'm really happy that the RNC finally decided on a chairman and I'm really happy that it's Michael Steele. I'm sure at the DUmp, they're saying things like "sell-out", "uncle tom", the usual bigoted insults. They will probably also accuse Steele of being some kind of balance to Barack Hussein Obama, but Michael didn't have a white parent and was certainly born and raised in this country. For me, he's going to be a great RNC head not because of his color or nationality, but that he has the neccessary organizational ability and direction.

Bijou, I think that you're dead on. You don't attack someone that you don't consider to be a threat.
Tess, he also has "the spirit of Ronald Reagan," as Sean Hannity put it.

I love Michael Steele

Sweet !
Michael Steele rocks ! :cheersmate:

You know they're worried with a capital W.
I'd say they're more than worried. They're all having to clean out their shorts and panties over this.
As someone else has posted: Steele, Jindal and Palin are a formidable crew, one the Dems, libs and lefties truly fear.
Think about how they'll attack Steele, Jindal and Palin, too: A black man, a first-generation Punjabi Indian-American and a white woman. A former lieutenant governor in Steele, a sitting governor and former U.S. representative in Jindal and a sitting governor in Palin.
What's coming from the DLLs, not just those at DU, should be entertaining as well as infuriating, racist, sexist and full of hatred.

I think he is incredibly impressive!
To the Dummies.... :bigbird:

:cheersmate:
Welcome Chairman Steele!
-
EXCELLENT!!!!
I LOVE Steele!!!

What an Uncle Tom........................HELL YEAH :cheersmate:
Go foreward and far Steele............kick the living shit out of the dumbasses

Wow, I'm really glad that it's pretty much unanimous that we all are happy with Steele.
I've had Fox News going in the background at times while I was on the computer - my usual nightly thing like right now - so I'm not really watching just listening. And many times I've turned around and looked to see who that was I'd be hearing talking with such good sense. Time after time it would be Steele. That is about as color blind as you can get. He's an excellent choice!
I"m feeling much better about our party these days. After the House Republicans stuck together and voted as one; and we are getting a great team in place as said above with Palin, Jindal and Steele. It's beginning to feel in the air like the fighting spirit of America is coming back to the GOP.
-
Token? Steele's name has been mentioned for RNC chairman for a couple of years now.
**** you, DUmbasses. It was you a-holes who were throwing Oreos at him and illegally pulling his credit report. :bird:
-
I've been following him for a while in the media. He's filled in for Dr. Bennett several times. I think it's an AWESOME choice.
-
YES!
I saw this at work and did a little happy dance.
-

They are losers.
Our chairman can beat up your chairman. :-)

Watch for the Oreo cookies coming from the left in 3...2...1...
