Mitt Romney says the exact same thing.

Ken Blackwell would like to see Michael Steele or Sarah Palin, though he acknowledges that Palin is not a possibility. When Ken mentioned Steele, the audience of 700 erupted in applause.

Kate O’Beirne is convinced it will be an insider, and very likely remain Mike Duncan. The political insiders that make the selection have a different criteria than advancing the conservative movement, and see it as mostly a fund raising position, not a leadership position.

At this point, I would bet a lot of money that it will be either Duncan or Steele.

I have much much more to post on this topic in the next few days, once I collect my notes.

I am in total support of Steele for the RNC Chair. He was terrific on the radio show. He is an unappologitic conservative, he is a very articulate and inspiring speaker, he is innovative and fresh and he has the ability of bringing a broader range of support under Reagans big tent without compromising the gippers principles.</p> I didn’t see Michael Steele on Hannity and the Moron, but I heard him on Hannity’s radio show the other day.

I love Newt, but it is time for a fresh face and new leaders to step up on a national level. Newt, for all his virtues, is part of the past and it is time to look to the future. The future is Steele, Jindal, and Palin and it is time for them to take a more prominent role in the conservative movement at large and the national Republican Party as well.</p> I’d like to see Michael Steele.
