Everybody Hating Michael Steele May Stand in the Way of His RNC Chair Reelection Chances
This news about the almost-certain ousting of Michael Steele is kind of bittersweet. On the one hand, it's never fun to watch somebody fail so spectacularly at something. On the other hand, that first hand was a lie…A weeklong canvass of the party's governing board by POLITICO revealed 88 [of 168] members who have decided not to vote for Steele, either opting to support one of his opponents or simply ruling out Steele as a choice in the race.
Fifty-five members, some of whom have endorsed one of Steele's challengers, have signaled that they will not support the chairman under any circumstances. An additional 33 pledged their support elsewhere…
Further, whip counts kept by several of the chairman's opponents suggest the Anybody-but-Steele bloc could be even larger, including as many as 90 to 100 members.
Generally speaking, when the "Anybody-but-[Blank]" bloc comprises close to 60 percent of the electorate, experts in politicaly stuff usually consider that to be a bad thing.

Jon Stewart Checks In With RNC Chairmibble Michael Steele
Against all odds, Michael Steele has announced he will in fact run for reelection as RNC Chair. Though, looking at his track record, you have to think his chances are pretty slim. After all, the GOP doesn't need a clownish self-parody as the face of their party. It's time for someone more serious and less fallible. You know, like Sarah Palin or Carrot Top.

Michael Steele Does Not Know How to Take "Michael Steele Will Be Missed" for an Answer
Hey, Michael Steele! Remember how yesterday, everybody was making very serious faces and talking in solemn tones about how you were probably not going to be running for head of the RNC again? That was because everybody assumed that you were self-aware enough to know that you had virtually no chance of getting a second term and that the social contract called for people to refrain from laughing directly into your face.
