Michael Steele elected as first black RNC chairman
Posted by Olog-hai on Fri Jan 30 21:28:42 2009 edf40wrjww2msgDetailOT:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d CNN Steele becomes first African-American RNC chairman WASHINGTON (CNN) — Michael Steele, a former Maryland lieutenant governor, was elected chairman of the Republican National Committee on Friday. Steele, the first African-American to hold the post, defeated South Carolina GOP Chairman Katon Dawson, 91-77, in the final round of voting among the RNC's 168 members. Only 86 votes were needed. "This is our opportunity. I cannot do this by myself," he told the crowd at the annual RNC meeting Friday. "God bless you, and God bless our party. ... It's going to be a new day." Steele also told his fellow party members that it will be a "great honor to spar" with President Obama. For the duration of his campaign, Steele fought perceptions that he was too moderate to lead the party because of his blue-state roots and his former membership in the Republican Leadership Council, a group that sought to curb the influence of social conservatives in the party. "For so long, we've allowed the Democrats to define us, we've allowed the media to define us, and so it's important for us to begin to establish with clarity who we are, what we believe as we begin to go out and take, I think, a brand new message to the American people," he said Friday. Watch Steele's remarks to the RNC » Steele brings a national profile to the committee, having shot to fame in the political world during an underdog Senate bid in 2006 distinguished by a series of clever TV commercials. He has since become a fixture on cable talk shows, experience that boosted his reputation as the best communicator among the field of RNC candidates. Earlier Friday, Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan, who was elected to lead the committee in 2007, dropped his re-election bid, telling committee members: "Obviously the winds of change are blowing here at the RNC." Duncan rose to address the committee after three disappointing rounds of balloting in the chairman's election. He bled votes on every successive ballot, his support trickling to the other candidates in the race. Despite the sometimes contentious nature of the campaign and criticism that the party suffered with him at the helm, Duncan told the crowd the race had been worth it. "I thought this would be good for the party," he said. "And I think it has been." Duncan earned a noisy round of applause when he said running the committee "has truly been the highlight of my life." Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell also ended his run Friday, throwing his support to Steele, a fellow African-American candidate. Blackwell had been in last place after four rounds of voting. "I told you last night that in elections, there are two ways that you change outcomes: You either change the composition of the electorate, or you can change the attitude of the electorate," he said Friday. "My fellow Republicans and members of the RNC, I cannot change the composition of this electorate. Nor would I want to. I do want to influence your perspective and your attitude at this moment in history. We must be a party that makes good the promise of Lincoln. We must unleash a new, a new birth of freedom," Blackwell said. Also on Friday, Michigan GOP chairman Saul Anuzis ended his bid to head the national party. He did not endorse either of the remaining candidates. "It's been a great honor," he said. "I have enjoyed every minute." With Republicans out of the White House and in the minority in both houses of Congress for the first time since 1994, the new chairman will have an uncommonly powerful role in revitalizing the beleaguered party. "What counts now, quite frankly, is competence more than change," said Massachusetts committee member Ron Kaufman, who backed Duncan's re-election bid. "People want a chairman who can run the building, raise the money and spend it wisely, and that becomes more important to folks than just change for change's sake." Duncan had garnered more public endorsements from RNC members than any of his opponents and had run a sophisticated re-election campaign. However, many in the committee were ready for a clean break from the soft-spoken Kentuckian, who managed to raise $400 million during a difficult 2008 cycle. Duncan, tapped in 2007 to succeed Ken Mehlman, is also associated with former President George W. Bush and sat atop the party through an election in which Republicans hemorrhaged congressional seats for the second consecutive cycle. Some party members want the new chairman to change with the times to win back disaffected voters, while others are convinced the party must stress basic conservative principles like small government and lower taxes. Read how iReporters would like to see the Republican Party move forward With so many considerations on the table and opinions differing widely among the membership, no candidate emerged early as the true front-runner. As a result, the race had, at times, turned sour. Each contender was the victim of e-mail salvos laden with opposition research that appeared in member inboxes almost daily in recent weeks, sometimes anonymously. Dawson presided over of a string of GOP successes in South Carolina, from the state house on up to last year's pivotal Republican presidential primary. He boosted his prospects earlier in January, but a number of party members said they didn't savor the thought of having a white Southerner as the face of the party in the age of Obama. In September, he resigned from a country club with a whites-only restriction in its deed.

Gov. Steele steers this ship over the next two years. One challenge is to make sure that he doesn't come off as merely a "black face" to make the party look good - it'll be only a matter of time before the accusations start flying. Another, and perhaps even greater, challenge is to widen the tent - which means selling people (from all regions and ethnicities) on the idea that a) the GOP isn't out to screw them, and b) they offer ideas that can work and show how they can work.

As we saw with the most recent deficit figures, a growing economy will in fact reduce the size of the budget deficit. In order to achieve optimal economic growth, Congress must adhere to sane spending guidelines while promoting smart policies devoted to growing businesses and creating jobs." From OnTheIssues.com.

Blacks are allowed to vote based on race b/c of their "experience", and whites are called racists. Go check out the shit on BET.com And I can't wait for the resident militans on this board to give their opinions. Steele got the job for his charisma, and ability to get his face on tv. Good decision. I've also liked Steele.

I'm not happy that Steele won. It's going to be hard listening to him criticize Obama, but that was part of the plan. Too bad he's such a willing tool.
