STEELE TRAP. I have to say that, quite apart from its race-barrier-breaking, the election of Michael Steele to chair the Republican National Committee is the smartest thing the GOP has done in years.

Another reason why conservatives aren’t apathetic is due to Michael Steele’s election to be the next chairman of the RNC.
The biggest reason for the apathy vanishing act is because President Obama foolishly picked a fight with Rush Limbaugh. Michelle Malkin has rightfully ...
