Michael Steele for RNC chairperson!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is probably the best thing that could happen for the GOP! The last two years, this party has given the American people reason not to hire Democrats to lead, but to fire Republicans! This is still a center-right country and Republican ideals and policies are still the best for this country and to rescue it from an economic downturn and for national security. Pundits all say that the GOP is a white-man's party and that it is going nowhere if it remains so - well, here is our future! Minorities like Michael Steele and Bobby Jindal, and with women like Sarah Palin give our party a chance to break the old mold and to reach out to new people. Our GOP tent has to be big enough to include those GOP moderates, such as Charlie Crist and even the Governator, that although they believe in issues such as climate change, still cling to hard-core traditional beliefs like lower taxes and smaller government. With the election of Michael Steele as chairman of the RNC, maybe other black conservatives (and some liberals) and even younger people will see conservatism as an alternate ideology to what the liberal left has to offer. Steele will give them an opportunity to at least look at our party and what it represents! We still have a long way to go to gain back the trust of the American people, but now that future looks a little brighter. 2010 does not look so far away right now!
