RNC asks Steele to replace Mehlman

Mr. Steele is one of the most successful and respected black Republicans in the country. He served as the elected Maryland Republican Party chairman before running for lieutenant governor.
    The White House, RNC and National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) were pleased with what they called his tough but dignified performance as senatorial candidate in a liberal state that last elected a Republican senator in 1980. The NRSC had enough confidence in him as a candidate that it directed large amounts of money into independent expenditures on behalf of his campaign in the closing days. 
  

It is time for a change.  Can this fellow cut the mustard?  From what I have read so far, yes, but I reserve my final judgement.  I will not blindly accept conservative leadership from this party anymore.  Losing their way was easy, finding their way back will be hard. 

2006, and let's be honest the last four years, have been filled with internal strife within the party.  From Immigration to the size of government, The White House has forgotten the Conservative values that won them the office.  But, just like me, the base is not taking this one on the chin. 

GOP furious about timing of Rumsfeld resignation

"The White House said keeping the majority was a priority, but they failed to do the one thing that could have made a difference," one House GOP leadership aide said Thursday. "For them to toss Rumsfeld one day after the election was a slap in the face to everyone who worked hard to protect the majority."

Changes are coming, and they are a good thing!!
