Examine the Record, not Rhetoric
James Richardson's Skepticians —
I certainly admire the fervent, almost Andrew Sullivan-like cheerleading among many conservative bloggers and pundits on behalf of former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell , but it’s important to give serious consideration to the facts, particularly when debating the “future” of the Party and the next Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Two narratives, with a staggering deference to the candidates’ records, have emerged in recent weeks as the clearest obstacles in Michael Steele’s path to securing the top Republican post, the first of which being his ...
