RNC members to Steele: Just go

This is not the level of support that a successful RNC Chairman gets:

In interviews with 51 committee members, 39 said they preferred Steele not be on the ballot when they meet near Washington in mid-January to pick their leader.

Steele’s detractors have been planting stories — ranging from damaging to devastating — in the Washington press ever since Steele was elected RNC Chairman. Steele has survived all of that, but not because he has a large group of strong supporters.
