They want Michael Steele Gone!!!

The Hill newspaper reports that a North Carolina member of the Republican National Committee has called on RNC chairman Michael Steele to step down:
In an e-mail to fellow RNC members obtained by The Hill, Dr. Ada Fisher, North Carolina’s national committeewoman, said Steele is “eroding confidence” in the GOP and that members of his transition team should encourage him to step aside. Fisher added Steele’s personal e-mail address to the e-mail.

“I don’t want to hear anymore [sic] language trying to be cool about the bling in the stimulus package or appealing to D.L. Hughley and blacks in a way that isn’t going to win us any votes and makes us frankly appear to many blacks as quite foolish,” Fisher wrote.

The paper says Fisher is one of three black members of the RNC and supported South Carolina chairman Katon Dawson in the Jan. 30 election for national party chairman.

As we and others reported, Steele apologized this week to conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh after telling CNN host D.L. Hughley that Limbaugh is an entertainer whose show is sometimes incendiary and ugly. It was the latest in a series of awkward moments.

Michael Steele the New Head of the RNC

Ap reports that The Republican National Committee has elected former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele the first black Republican National Committee chairman. Steele was the most moderate candidate in the field and was considered an outsider because he’s not an RNC member. He beat back four challengers, including incumbent Mike Duncan, who was forced to withdraw from the field midway through the balloting in the face of a lack of support.
