Hugh Hewitt: Chairman Steele
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Obviously I think highly of Michael Steele --he's been one of my favorite guest hosts when we have been able to schedule his sitting in for me while I am on the road. He will be a tremendous chairman, and his extraordinary communication abilities will serve the GOP very very well.. There were other great candidates --Ken Blackwell is a friend of mine, for example-- and hopefully Chairman Steele will keep all of them on the team moving forward. And hopefully he will an expanded and energized tech team at work next week.
