Remember, the GOP got into a lot of race hustling in '07-'08 when they chose to play their version of Dimocrat Light.  Johnny 'Reach across the aisle' McAmnesty, the GOP's "prefect candidate" for the wise Latina vote... Steele as the "titular head" of the RNC to counter/attract the Obungler vote... it is what it is.  Bottom line.  If Steele were anyone other than Steele, he would've been forced out for his stripper club excursions.  You can bet a wide, foot-tapping, poop stance on that.
