Steele gets business backing

Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele touted his pro-business credentials in his campaign for U.S. Senate Wednesday, while dodging a political hot potato on global warming thrown long-distance by his pals at Democratic Party headquarters.

Steele and Gov. Robert Ehrlich “have done terrific things with the economy of Maryland,” said Geoffrey O?Hara, head of the eastern region for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which endorsed Steele. “We?ll be working hard with him every step of the way.”
