I see this as a power struggle ... but I don't see how Steele can win.

Michael Steele was elected as Chairman of the Republican National Committee - a Leader of the Republican Party.

However - most Modern Republicans see Rush Limbaugh as their Ideological Spokesperson ... a veritable MESSIAH. They quote him, they employ his talking points in debate, and they listen to his programs in the same way they attend church.

While Steele seems like an honest, good person ... it is this very quality that makes him out to be not a good fit for a Political Party that gleefully embraces Torture, Welfare for the Wealthy, and Keeping Children from getting Health Care.

For THAT kind of agenda, you need a truly depraved hypocrite who can communicate cynicism with just the right delivery that The Modern Right Wing in America finds entertaining.
.
But I wish Michael Steele all the best.
