I've known Michael for over 8 years now and he is a good christian, a good Catholic and a faithful leader to the party and to all citizens. I don't look at him as the first "black" man, I look at him as someone that can lead this state and this country.

I don't get fooled much and I can normally see through people and he is quite an honest man.

The only person that has ever fooled me was Louise Smith and I have "polished" my skills better since her. He is a keeper and he should be running this country and not some pseudo African-American.

We got it right this time! Its sad that WBOC chose to run this as a bi-line type story. Put aside color, politics and the fact he is from Maryland, he is a class guy that can help us get back on track.

Remember when he ran for senate. At a speech the loving democrats threw oreo cookies on stage st him and said he was black on the outside, but white on the inside. What do you think would have been said if republicans had done that to a black person. Yet they call us racist. He is a very good man.

You don't see the news media gushing over this Black Man First, now do you? Possibly because he "sold out" to the enemy. If he was replacing Howard Dean as chairman of the DNC, it would be ALL OVER the news.
Pathetic.

Would love to see a Steele-Palin or Steele-Jindal ticket in 2012.

Glad to hear this. Let's hope he can get Republican party back on track. I absolutely would've voted for him for President. He's a good and honorable man.

He is on Fox News quite often and I have watched him for some time now. Our family in Houston watches Fox and mentioned him to me this summer regarding what a great man he is.I agree, I would vote for him in a minute. He is extremely intelligent and thinks clearly without a lot of "filler" BS. IMO

You do realize that the story you just mentioned is just that. A story.

It's not true, nor has it ever been.

WTF are you talking about?? He never ran for Governor. He ran for Senate while OweMally ran against Ehrlich.

Yes it would be nice if we had Steele instead of OweMalley.
