| Michael Steele, after accompanying John McCain to the NAACP convention: You've got to live in the real. Barack Obama is going to take more than the lion's share of the black vote. But that doesn't and has not stopped John McCain from competing for that vote.
And, of course, the talking heads have been jabbering about why Steele accompanied McCain. I think it's because McCain knew he had no chance in hell of convincing anyone there to vote against the first black President, so he vainly hoped Michael Steele might be able to peel off a vote or two. Of course, we saw how popular Steele is with black voters two years ago. The pundits, however, thought he might be a possible veep pick. That is, until Hotline pointed out the obvious: Steele's history demonstrates a certain lack of what you might call... a successful career. Until he found his way onto the Republican fundraising circuit. |
