Steele stole GOP Chair–Updated

Michael Steele appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and here’s what he had to say to them Dems!

“We want you to work with us, and for those of you who wish to obstruct–get ready to get knocked over!”

He said that he wants to move the party forward on the ideas that matter. Inquiring minds want to know “what ideas?” 

 He was talking to Dems and GOP alike. He is “NOT IN THE MOOD” for people to stand in the way and say we “can’t do it because we’ve always done it this way.”

Steele offered this warning (paraphrase) For the democrats who want to put up roadblocks, obfuscation, sleight of hand, and name calling he ‘s not gonna put up with it.

Q: Give me three names that are movers in the party and under 50?

A:  Bobby Jindal, Gov. Sarah Palin, and Tim Pawlenty will define the field in the years to come.

He has mentioned two of the people I also echoed as folks to watch. Doesn’t mean they’re going anywhere, just WATCH ‘EM! LOL

Heloise predicted as much when she wrote an article about the future of the GOP. I said they need to put a black face on the GOP. It was a hard-won battle but apparently Michael Steele prevailed.

Many speculated that it would be Newt Gingrich but I narrowed it down to either Steele or Jindal. Not sure if Jindal was in the area.  I didn’t know they had to vote on it, but that’s how it’s done on the GOP national level:

“We’re going to say to friend and foe alike: We want you to be a part of us, we want you to with be with us, and for those who wish to obstruct, get ready to get knocked over,” Steele said.

He won 91 votes out of a possible 168 in the sixth round. A simple majority of 85 was needed, but it took six rounds for Steele to win.  Reuters
