I like Steele, I like what he represents and I like that he is a clear deviation from the status quo. We need as a party for people to know we aren't just the Good Old Party anymore … we're not a boys club. For this reason alone old white men cannot have my vote for this position right now. Take a back seat so that others can look favorably at our party. Women will be my obvious next choice. It's high time that Blacks see they don't have to all be Democrats and that people on whole see that you don't have to be rich, white and a man to belong to the Republican Party.

Norm Coleman

We should have elected Katon Dawson two years ago and we wouldn't be in the mess we are now! If you will remember, he lost by only 7 votes.

The one with the most down to earth personallity and who is ULTIMATELY going to bring victorious elections to the GOP and viable candidates is Ambassador Ann Wagner. She is proven successful for the last 20 years in missouri politics. She was the cochair of the RNC for after delivering for GWBush in 2004. She represented our country with honor for 4 years as US Ambassador. The woman has it all. She'd also bring diversity to the GOP and represent not only the power base of males in our party but attract the ever so important female vote. THE GOP WOULD BE AT FAULT FOR NOT ELECTING ANN WAGNER TO RNC CHAIRMAN

Let's pick a state chair that has actually won! PA outperformed the wave. Gleason is the guy. Can raise money and win, nough said.

Chairman Gleason did great things in PA. His staff was terrific to work with and very responsive to on the ground needs. He can raise money and doesn't make the story himself, unlike the incumbent.

We need a functional national party not a show horse like we have now.

Gleason all the way!

look at wagner's record…shes outperfomred and delivered on NUMEROUS occasions. in 2000 as missouri chairman, in 2004 as RNC CO CHAIR and MISSOURI CHAIR, and recently in 2010 as SEN Elect Roy Blunt's campaign chairman, she lead him to victory…

WAGNER ALL THE WAY

I TRULY BELIEVE WE NEED A WOMAN IN THE POSITION FOR rnc CHAIRMAN. WOMEN ARE OUR MOST CONSISTENT VOTERS AND THIS WOULD TRULY MAKE UNDECIDED VOTERS TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT THE CHANGES DEVELOPING OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. I BELIEVE IT WOULD ATTRACT MANY WHO NEVER CONSIDERED SUPPORTING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN ANYWAY. ALSO, WOMEN ARE MORE INTUNED TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN FAMILIES AND CURRENT TRENDS ACCROSS THE SPECTRUM…

Cynthia, you shoud look at Ann Wagner and her winning women initiative she undertook as RNC co chair back in 2001. She is the perfect Chairman candidate. Experience, results, diverse, grounded, american family, mother, wife…she is the republican party.

Rob Gleason looks to have taken an early lead. Interesting.

Look at where we are, right now, and who has gotten us there. Michael Steele

Ya Tough old Gal… He's gotten the RNC over 15 million in debt. The mid term gains are thanks to the efforts of the RGA, NRSC, and NRCC… THEY ACTUALLY HAD MONEY TO SPEND ON GROUND OPS AND ADVERTISING. I think that Gentry Collins' resignation summed up all of the reasons why Michael Steele needs to go. My goes to Maria Cino– she has leadership experience, the ability to bring back big donors, and most importantly integrity.

Maria Cino. She's a tough cookie who knows how to fundraise. She did an excellent job with the 2008 RNC. Time to have more female representation in the party leadership as well.

Palin!

I agree. We need a real work horse who can get the job done and doesn't care about media hype. We need an organizer, a leader and a master fundraiser.

We need to have someone who can set the right team up for the best ground game in 2012 and Maria Cino has the right experience and temperament for the job.

Ken Jordan and Brenda Battle Jordan, of the Genesee County Republican Executive Committee [www.geneseegop.org]

100% Norm … he's savvy – understands what an R in the Midwest needs and what an R on the coast need. We need someone who has bee able to stand-up for what he believes in while being able to converse with those from the other side.

Grassroots experience at nearly every staff level: check. Major fundraising experience: check. Running a national convention: check. Deep and wide contacts throughout the country: check. MARIA CINO is the obvious choice.

Why isn't Ken Blackwell represented here?

Ken Blackwell hasn't given any indication that he's interested in running this time.

If you're aware of reports to the contrary, please post a link here and the poll will be updated accordingly.

How do I nominate a candidate for RNC Chair

Chairman Gleason took over the PA State Party and has since flipped the Commonwealth Court, flipped the PA Supreme Court, flipped the State House, retained the State Senate, elected a Republican governor, elected a Republican US Senator, and this year alone, flipped 5 U.S. House seats. enough said. Gleason's our man. All this despite a 1.2 Million voter registration deficit in PA!!

If we are going to oust Obama in two years, we need someone like Rob Gleason at the helm!!

No one works harder or smarter than Maria Cino. And no one is better organized. We would be very fortunate if she agreed to run. I vote for Maria!

You can post your thoughts here as to who you'd prefer to be chosen and why but unless there's some indication that person is running, they won't be added to the poll.

Ann Wagner – she's a proven fighter – appeals to the women and business community – and has boundless energy.
My recent post 2010 Prince Concert in … the Netherlands!

Maria has the experience and skill to put the RNC back together again.

I would "vote" for Maria Cino. Her background and experience are what the RNC needs to make a real difference in winning elections.

I would like to see more people of color and gender in the GOP. I nominate Dr. King (Martin Luther King's niece).

Saul Anuzis has all the ingredients to make an outstanding chairman of the RNC. There are some other good potential candidates here, but I believe we need a change and a change that reflects the new tactical approach to successful politics while retaining the traditional skills of party leadership.

Maria Cino! Forget she's a woman…who else has run a federal committee that returned Republicans to power after years in the desert, ran a committee that was bankrupt and somehow found the will and the way (and the funds) to return it to solvency, was political director for a winning presidential campaign, and has been a staffer and officer at the RNC? She will inspire men, women, young and old and of every ethnic group to reinvigorate the party at ALL levels.

Gleason gets my vote. He elected a Govenor, U.S. Senator, 5 new congressmen, flipped the state House, The PA GOP is well-funded and Gleason is a major reason why.

Steele has to go and Gleason should be the guy.

I vote for Maria, she has the experience, drive, and organizational skills to put the RNC "back together" again and lead our party to victory in 2012

cino!

This is a list of good people. The RNC needs to look forward including the logistics and understanding of that future of which the chairman will absolutely not only have to agree with, but will also embrace new ideas and technology. This list embodies those that have gotten us where we are today whether you like where we are or not.

The only candidate on the list that understands not only the need to look forward, but also understands how to get there is Saul Anuzis. Look forward not backwards. Oh, he also listens. A rare commodity.

Without the tea party PA would still be blue. In 2006 Gleason lost the statehouse, 5 congressional districts, senator races. Couldn't get them back in 2008. What made this year different – the tea parties. And he dissed them at the February State Committee meeting.

He dissed Cheryl Allen for Superior Court and wouldn't push for her to be endorsed by State Committee in 2007. He dissed Pat McCoulough for Commonwealth Court – no endorsement from State Committee. Both went on to win without the help from State Committee. And did you know Joan Orie Melvin donated $10,000 to the dems of Philadelphia. Her punishment – she's now a Supreme Court Judge.

And then there's the lies and bullying he and his cronies did to me after I won my State Committee races last May.

And why hasn't he been able to win his own district? Oh that's right. He and Murtha were good friends and is there a connection between his insurance company and those companies that get the pork?

Gleason would not have won much without the tea parties and it's about time he gave them the credit they deserve and stop making it all about him.

He lost those races in 2006 and 2008. What was different this year? The Tea Parties which he continues to ignor and make everything about himself. Besides that my own experience with him is that he lies when convenient and has his people lie for him as well. And then there's the bully thing.

If he had to run statewide the grassroots republicans would come out in droves to make sure hew wasn't elected. The only money can raise comes only from the 'establishment' not the grassroots.

Mr. Gleason has done everything he could to destroy the grass roots movement in Pennsylvania.
– If you want bigger government and more spending, the Robbie Gleason is your man.
For details, see comment by Mombrown1

@Lorraine, Are you referring to Alveda King? Yes, she's an inspiration and a dynamo. I vote for her.

Maria Cino! She did a great job leading the Convention in 2008 and represented the kind of leadership we need to win the WH in 2012

No way. The victories in Pennsylvania were won regardless of Gleason. Actually, he took forever to warm up to Pat Toomey. Don't forget that Gleason also charied the GOP in 06 and 08. Not great years for Pennsylvania Republicans.

The victories in Pennsylvania had very little to do with Rob Gleason and more to do with the national tide and the tea party. Gleason is a bully whose mindset is that if you run against the party-endorsed candidate, you may as well be a Democrat and really, he only supported Toomey after failing to get any "mainstream Republicans" to oppose him in the primary. And now he's going to take credit for Toomey's senate win? bs.

You should add Ron Paul, he can recruit, bring in third party groups, and the tea party and raise money what more could you want?

Thanks!

Chairman Steele had his opportunity to unite the GOP and it didn't happen. Republicans took the 2010 elections by storm IN SPITE OF Chairman Steele, not because of him. GOP headquarters apparently cannot work together to save their lives, and certainly didn't throw their weight behind the Republican candidates the people chose. Nick Ayers already has experience leading a national Republican organization with the RGA and has done well there. He also has the relationships already established with the Republican governors all over the country. I say give Nick Ayers a shot!

I'm voting Maria! We'd begin to raise a boat-load of money the day after she's elected. She'd work with the leadership on the Hill, not compete against them for TV time. She's a proven leader with excellent organizational skills. The RNC would be operating at 100% with her at the helm. PS. First Woman Chairman in RNC history wouldn't be too shabby either! Vote Maria!

I believe Sarah Palin should be the next Chairperson of the RNC. Why isn't she listed? She's the perfect candidate. Under NO circumstances should Rob Gleason of PA be chosen. He is a RINO who was good friends with John Murtha. He is not responsible for any of the wins in this past election and is in fact responsible for the sad state of affairs in PA. The Grassroots organizations (people) of PA are responsible for the wins and want to see Gleason gone from the Chairmanship of the PA GOP. He and his brother are running the PA GOP and are doing a Democrat job at it.

Sarah Palin wasn't included in the poll because only those who have indicated they have an interest in running have been included.

He kept Murtha in office by trashing every Rep that ran against him. This guy is a looser.

Anybody but Gleason. He is a RINO.
My recent post GOP RINO Chairman Gleason trying to take credit of TEA Party Victories

Agreed. Maria Cino knows the Party and the players inside and out, but is no elitist. She would actively engage and work with the Tea Party folks and she, herself would be a breath of fresh air, and not just because she's a woman, although it IS time for a woman in the job. She'd be a leader who wouldn't need to be coached by staff, or make embarrassing gaffes, or make us cringe when on the political shows. She knows how to organize and raise money, and she wouldn't waste a dime of it. I think she has the potential to be one of the best in a generation, right up there with Haley Barbour. And the others on this list of "possibles" would never be treated as "enemies" — From what I know of her, Maria Cino is too smart for that and would utilize each and every one of them to the fullest of their talents on behalf of the GOP, rather than shut them out. Importantly, she would liaison well with Congress, and would need no learning curve or on-the-job-training. The RNC needs someone who can hit the ground running on Day One.

Maria Cino seems to be maintaining a pretty good lead right now.

I have had the opportunity and pleasure of working closely with Maria Cino and learned first hand of her natural leadership skills and committment to what is best and more specifically what is necessary for the public we serve. She is a strategically focused and results driven individual with exceptional planning, communication and execution skills. What an honor it would be to have Maria planning and leading our agenda.

I'm impressed by what I see of Maria Cino so far.

Why Maria Cino?

Because she is a powerhouse chief executive with the public persona to match. She's extremely likable, with the requisite public speaking eloquence to make an impact on the public.

In light of current concerns, she has the executive/managerial record of major impressive results, and which especially reflect fiscal responsibility and prudence; in her political roles, she has demonstrated a deep respect for the power of the ground game and the requirements for its successful implementation.

Do not take a chance. Go with the one with the best record of bringing the right results: Maria Cino!

RINOs are fantasy creatures. They do not exist.

RINOs are fantasy creatures. They do not exist.

One concern that I have with Maria Cino is that she has hired Mary Cheney to head up her 527 who is openly gay. This will not bode well for the pro-marriage forces in the GOP. The GOP and the American people are overwhelmingly pro-marriage.
My recent post GOP RINO Chairman Gleason trying to take credit of TEA Party Victories

RINOs don't exist? What do you mean?
My recent post GOP RINO Chairman Gleason trying to take credit of TEA Party Victories

I haven’t decided yet. I think Steele is a good motivational public speaker, but little else. I worry that lesser known names will have equal or more trouble raising money. The objective of the RNC Chair is to elect Republicans. Its not to impose party purity tests. Its not to be a motivational speaker except when your elected leadership wants you to take the hit. So fundraising and political organization are the must haves.

2010-2012 challenges: maintaining House, gaining Senate, Presidency, and redistricting battles nationwide. Its no easy challenge.

Maria Cino is my pick for RNC Chair. IMHO, she would do well in such a position, and she could help increase the number of total GOP supporters and total GOP voters, overall, including women GOP voters and all other minority GOP voters. The total GOP, still, has great difficulty in getting enough women voters and in getting enough minority voters to, willingly, vote for GOP candidates, at each and every political level, and this ongoing negative trend against the total GOP has got to stop. The total GOP must, also, find successful ways of getting large numbers of city voters to, willingly, vote for GOP candidates, at each and every political level. Maria Cino can help to, successfully, resolve all of these issues. No matter who ends up winning the RNC Chair race, I do hope that they will, always, do their very best to help out the total GOP, during their entire duration in such a position. All political infighting, within the GOP, helps out all political opponents, even more. The total GOP must come to total agreement, asap, on all of the issues, please, or they must come as close to total agreement as is humanly possible, please!

Doesn't make much sense to me to to push Steele aside right now. Like it or not he was the coach during a winning season. And with the convention coming and a very import 2012 election, seems silly to change leadership at this point.

Steele had a rough start but I think that he has done a pretty good job since then and I am looking forward to his leadership during the 2012 convention. I may have a different view of the chairman before but I hope he wins.

steele is a disaster. i am shocked that anyone thinks we should keep in this important position; no offense.

How do you defend the fact that his GOTV effort was nonexistent? He needs to leave.

I think the team of Maria Cino and Nick Ayers would be one of strong team ever seen

Voting for SC and Katon. Though we despised that our PA had no say in the Primary, it was clever for SC to begin the Primary early. For, PA, was it Gleason, or was it conservatives on the local level who rejected Gleason's PA Republican Script, and did calls, impromptu, told of ACORN and other things the Press had ignored from '07 on?. More recently, it was the 912/tea party which turned the PA tide. The Party became nuisance callers. Granted, the State payed for the phones, but it was the local level who won hearts. Ms. Party Term-Limits.

Steele supports a Federal Reserve audit http://www.dailypaul.com/files/images/ron-paul-st...

QE2 must stop

Rob Gleason has not done anything to promote Republican candidates in PA. If anything, he has stiffled good convervative candidates that could win if they were supported.

I think Sarah Palin would be a great chair for the RNC. She can draw huge crowds and fundraise like no one else. She will also energize the party.

Rob Gleason did everything he could to keep a republican out of the 12th congressional district. He did not listen to the voters or the committee people in PA. Without the TEA party and 9/12 groups working so diligently for the past 2 elections, we would not have come close to the results for 2009 and 2010. It was the TEA party and 9/12 groups that made the difference not Rob Gleason.

I like Mike!!! Unless we could talk J.C. into doing the job!!

I voted Michael Steele. He is the only person willing to open up to the Tea Parties and the Constitutionalists. Cino was the chief architect behind shutting out Ron Paul during the 2008 RNC Convention, and Michael Steele made a way for us and brought in all that new energy that helped us to win the 2010 elections. If we want to go back down the same road that led us to our 2008 defeat, then choose Cino or any of the others. If we want to keep going down the road to victory, keep Michael Steele. The decision is ours to make! Tell your Committeeman, Committeewoman, and State Chair!

Michael Steele is the man.

Keep a good thing in place.

Why switch gears now? Mr. Steele has been responsive to his detractors as well as his supporters. The bottom line with all of the money the Rove groups, RNCC etc put in, THEY also had their losses and detracted from some good candidates. The GOP needs to stop 'eating their young' – bottom line, is Chairman Steele presided over the RNC during the greatest comeback win in history – If he had been chairman over a losing year- ( which should be the mandate) He would certainly get the blame – so no credit? Our party NEEDS to speak a new language. Do we need to better our fundraising efforts> Always, but now that he has the candiates in place – and the will the the country behind our message- give Chairman Steele a chance to shine. If he doesn't deliver- then remove him – we do have that option. I VOTE CHAIRMAN STEELE

Saul blew it as MI GOP chairman when he not only showed a clear dislike for Ron Paul in only the second debate, but he called for his TOTAL exclusion from all debates going forward. That was shear stupidity on his part – maybe he's sorry but the irresponsibility can't be taken back. I lost any shred of respect for him at that point – he's not worthy of my vote.

I vote Mike Duncan .

Mike Duncan

Mike Duncan. A true Republican .

From my understanding, Michael Steele has embraced the tea party and works to bring all the different types of Republicans together. This doubtless helped us win the House back in the impressive 2010 election cycle, so why wouldn't we want to keep him?

I think the whole push to replace him is because he's too open to non-establishment types – but those are just what the country wants right now. In 2008 we lost badly, in part because the party tried to shut out anyone who didn't fall in line (including the early tea party,) creating division and undermining enthusiasm… and we can't afford to make that mistake again.

We need to welcome the tea party, not reject it. Whoever our chairman is needs to understand that, and not just in rhetoric!

I agree with the gentleman who said this should be range-voting, but this list is also missing great people whom we should be encouraging to run, like Dr. Alveda King. We can't afford a viciously divided Republican Party in 2012, and the nomination of Cino is creating sharp divisions in the party between the establishment and the incoming Tea Party/Constitutionalist wing. Is that really wise? Set up for 2012 being an extremely divided party? Remember that when considering Cino please. Cino is very divisive, and has actively worked to exclude Ron Paul supporters from appropriate representation. It is time to end the divisions and unify going into 2012 around a strong mission of growth and outreach for smaller, more sensible government.

This pressure to oust Steele is coming from his willingness to let those radical Tea Party types win their primaries. I, for one, am tired of unprincipled government, so I cast my vote in this poll for Steele.

Chris Healy. Anyone who could go up against one of the most liberal States in our Country has alot of guts.

Cino = Conservative In Name Only

Steele.

Maria Cino all the way!!!!!!

At every RNC meeting, the strategists say "we must attract women voters"…."women voters must be our #1 targeted group"…."we've lost the women's vote"….
"how do we best attract the women's vote?………………well, then, elect a very qualified woman as the RNC Chair! Hasn't been done since the mid-70's! This should NOT be the "good ol' boys" RNC any longer………!

And there's no better qualified candidate for RNC chair (man OR women) than Maria Cino…..look at her background………..none of the other candidates can even come close! Okay, RNC members……..let's see if you really believe in leadership………..let's see if you really want to set the Democrats' hair on fire…..select Maria Cino as the next RNC chair!

I'm curious how Michael Steele got so many votes so quickly. Seems like Mr. Steele must have referred the RNC staff to this website in desperation.

Voted for Michael Steele. Who changes chairmans after a massive win like that? When was the last time the Republican party won 60-65 U.S. House seats in a midterm?

I really like Norm Coleman——-we need someone with integrity and someone who can raise the profile of the RNC. Norm Coleman is strong and was a great Senator.

I have but one concern and that is to ensure that our country lives up to the promises and hopes on which it was built. We have seen am erosion of our values, principles and moral authority. 2012 marks an opportunity for us to get our country and our party back on the right path. The leadership of the RNC is a crucial element in rebuilding our country and party (and yes, the strength of country comes before party). It is for this reason that I support Ann Wagner for RNC Chairwoman; she’s the right person at the right time.

However, regrdless of who becomes the chairwoman/chairman of the RNC I challenge each person to put aside party in-fighting and partisanship so we can work collectively to protect the future of our country and our children.

–Erran Persley

There are alot of great candidates listed above including Maria Cino and Mike Duncan who will rightly focus on the re-building the Party to compete in 2012 at all levels. The mere controversy surrounding Chairman Steele is hurting the Party and will hurt our chances to beat Obama in 2012. We need a fresh start. For the good of the Party, and in a truly selfless act, the current Chairman should announce he is not running, understanding that the allegations alone are a MAJOR distraction to the overall goal, and allow the rest of the slate of qualified conservative candidates listed above to make their case to the Republican National Committee Membership. We are blessed that we have so many talented people in the Republican Party to choose from.

Changing leaders in the midst of a war will cost us valuable and precious time.

There is only one thing that is importance …Some one that will work with Sarah..Michel is now Sarah friend and probably her only one in the RNC. all the other are rinos.In this organization..They will do anything to keep Sarah out because they will lose their power and control as she will not put up with the corruption..

Why isn't Gentry Collins a choice? I thought he declared as a candidate and even formed a 527 to help him raise money for the election.

Maria would be an awesome chairman at the RNC….deep roots in that Committee and "WOW" how refreshing she would be. Go MARIA Go !!!

I selected Michael Steele to be the next chairman of the Republican National Committee because of his outstanding performance as the current chairman. He skillfully lead our party to a historic resurgence, as is reflected in the 2010 tidal wave election that propelled a record number of Republicans into office. The historic outcome of the election shows that Steele’s strategy was a winning formula. He focused on listening to average Americans and communicating the Republican Party’s founding principles of lower taxes, less government, more freedom and individual responsibility. This tactical move proved providential as average Americans spontaneously started a grassroots Tea Party movement against the Democratic Party’s out-of-control spending that destroyed our economy, grew the government and eroded our basic freedoms. Thanks to the hard work of Steele, average Americans participating in the Tea Party movement gravitated to our Republican candidates. In my opinion, the Republican Party would be well served if Steele is elected to a second term so that he can help guide our party to victory in 2012.

Another vote for Steele. The guy managed to pull off one of the greatest wins in the history of American Politics. He also raised a significant amount of money from individual donors, which is what the party has had a problem with doing in the past.. When he reaches out to the larger donors this year and next for the 2012 presidential race, he will have a great base of individual donors in place. Not to mention, the Dems are going to use the fact he was ousted after leading the party to such a victory, keep thinking they're not. Race is going to play a gigantic role in this upcoming election, and you can't sway Dems and moderates after ousting one of the few prominent Black Republicans after he led the party to an amazing victory. Dick Cheney oops, meant Maria Cino, will be a puppet for Ed Gillespie, Rove, and Dick Cheney. Do we need another big time lobbyist in our party. Haven't they gotten us into enough trouble as is.

Michael Steele pulled off the greatest GOP victory in years. Why in the world would we want to remove a successful leader? I think the 'good ol' boys' in the party need to get out of the way. Removing Steele would be like the Yankees firing Jeter.

Come January, the Marxist Democrats will have less than 200 seats in Congress.

You have to go back six decades, 62 years, in fact, to the 80th Congress (1947/1948) to find a time when we had fewer Marxist Democrats in Washington.
Republicans will also control more state legislatures than at any time since 1928.

Based on results, Michael Steele is the best RNC Chairman since at least 1928 and maybe the best ever. And for Republicans, unlike the Marxist Democrats for whom ostensible intentions trump all, results count.

You can argue that it was the TEA Party – or some other factor – that made the difference, no problem. Remember Ronald Reagan, “There is no limit to what you can accomplish as long as you’re not worried about who gets the credit.” So give the TEA Party the credit, if you like. Even if Michael Steele did nothing but sit in his office and watch Turner Classic Movies, at least he had enough sense to stay out of his own way.

Within reason, Republicans don’t care what Michael Steele is doing. Whatever it is, it’s working. He’s getting results and for market liberal Republicans, that’s the bottom line.

Wagner, Gleason & Cino are all well-qualified, but I narrowly chose Wagner. She has a good balance of state & national, fundraising & grass-roots organizing experience. Missouri did well under her care.

Maybe it's time we stopped electing "establishment" people to this position, since the majority of conservatives in this country are sick and tired of the way the party is being run. Stop electing people who have been CEO, President, Chairman, etc. of state and National Organizations that are out of touch with the people who actually VOTE!!!!!

If the Republican Party doesn't get this right, the people will be voting for third party candidates, which means either the third party candidate will win, or the Democrat will win, NOT the Republican. This last election was not a mandate FOR the Republican party, it was a wake up call for BOTH parties.

Steele, we got your back.

rEVOLution 2012

rEVOLution for Michael Steele!

Steele allowed the grassroots to take the lead in taking back the house. He was sympathetic to Ron Paul' republicans and was a moderate spokesperson that did not alienate any republicans. If the republicans want to trash him now then they will be on the opposite end of history.

Steel has been very open and progressive. He is the best guy for the "new" republicans

Speaking as a Marylander- I think Steele is a horrible choice. I am all for changing our color perception, but let's do it with someone who isn't associated with broke organizations. The MD GOP has had serious financial issues and does not have money in the bank past what we owe, the RNC is not doing good financially mainly because he over spent, he took part in a rule 11 waiver here in MD endorsing and sending funds to his former boss Bob Ehrlich in a contested primary before Ehrlich filed as a candidate. Steele's comments have been every bit as divisive as Pres. Obama.

I think there is a display glitch on the graph… Mr. Steele is leading by over a hundred votes, but the bars show him even with another candidate.

Paid commercial for the guy who has been sponging off his expense account, can't give a speech that doesn't leave his audience snoring, and can't do a TV interview that doesn't sound like he's calculating every word he says top maximize blandness. Classical bureaucrat, pandering to the plaid-pants RINOS that gave us McCain and defeat in 2008. Everyman he ain't, and never was. Find us a dynamic, well-spoken leader who is NOT beholden to the RINO wing of the party, and watch the dollars roll in. There is no more time left to kick the can down the road – we either return our Republic to its' roots now, making some really hard choices to do so, or we fall into economic (and therefor social) disaster.

All this happened in 2010 in SPITE of Steele, not because of him.

Yes we've noticed that too. It's an irritation that we're looking into but it's not a critical problem. As long as his numbers are showing up correctly.

I watched the live stream that Freedom Works put on, I liked Saul Anuzis's answers. He was the only one that recognized the grassroots efforts in this country and seemed wiling to working with them. All the others seemed your typical Rinos.

Ken and Brenda Battle Jordan ,support Michael Steele for RNC Chairman..

Mr Priebus is a breath of fresh air thats why i voted for him.Even though i personally like Mr.Steele and have met him in person and also i think hes a great charismatic guy the fact of the matter is its time for change.And i believe that mr.Priebus is just what we need.Thanks i respect everyone ones opinion i ask the same out of everyone.

I will not donate any more money to steele. Tparty and other conservative groups will get my money

Cino is an Obamacare lobbyist. No chance in hell she gets my vote.

Steele doesn't get it. Won't vote for anyone who hyphenates "American". The Balkanization of America under the guise of "multiculturalism and diversity" is NOT good for our country.

Anuzis's bio is impressive, as was the GOP win in Michigan, of all states.
