Steele running for re-election

Stunning supporters and critics alike, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele announced his reelection bid by e-mail shortly after a conference call with committee members tonight: “I come to my bosses with a record that only you can judge, based upon directions you made clear to me from the very beginning. Yes, I have stumbled along the way, but have always accounted to you for such shortcomings. No excuses. No lies. No hidden agenda. Going forward, I ask for your support and your vote for a second term.”
