Time for Steele to step down
He will announce his decision Monday evening, but the time has come for RNC Chairman Michael Steele to step down. Steele worked with establishment Republicans and against the energized Tea Party base in the past election cycle, which may have led directly to the GOP’s failure to take over the Senate.
Worse is his free-spending approach to RNC funds; the financial carelessness with which he’s managed the office has proven he’s not the right person to continue in the position. While he doesn’t need any steel buildings to house wealth he’s made from the position – after all, let’s not exaggerate things – he has spent loads of money on the 2012 Republican National Convention compared to what was spent at the same point on the 2008 convention.
While Steele hasn’t completely disqualified himself from future leadership positions, he’s messed this one up badly and needs some time away. Hopefully, he takes it now, rather than having it forced upon him.
Young folks not so hot on ObamaCare
As Dick Morris and pollster John Zogby have shown, ObamaCare is not getting a warm reception from young Americans. In the most recent poll by Zogby, only 25 percent of Americans under 30 support ObamaCare and the “public option.” Among adults 30-49, only 28 percent now support the idea.
This sets things up nicely to undo the “new Democratic majority” that Pelosi and Reid have been crowing about ever since Obama defeated John McCain over a year ago. That “new Democratic majority” relied heavily on young people.
Let’s just hope, when President Obama reads these poll results, he does lock America’s youngest voters up in steel buildings and ship them over to Afghanistan for his ill-advised so-called “civilian surge.”
