Steele Considers Run For Governor

Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele says he is considering running for governor in Maryland.

Steele, who also is a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, told MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Monday that "we're looking at it," when asked if he was weighing a run.

That word came the same day that a Republican entered the race and a Democrat announced his running mate.

You mean we have a chance for a real Governor.

Good. Md needs a conservative Governor who has the history of our State. He has my vote if he decides to run for governor.

Steele is a great Republican. Too bad he's more intelligent than 90% of those in power within the party.

As a liberal Republican he really could be the answer. He could win and he could lead us in a more Republican direction.

Another Chris Christie: as in a Republican in a very blue state.

Power is about getting in the door.

I very much wanted to like Steele. But his stint as chairman of the RNC was a disaster. Next please...

I don't believe he has a chance. The only card that could possible get him elected would be playing the race card and that is just stooping too low.

There is nothing conservative about him... I hope he does not split the vote in any way.. Please Go Home Michael.

1018-You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Under Steele, the GOP had the largest swing of seats in a mid-term election in generations. That's success by every measure.

739-The Dems have played the race card against Michael Steele going back to the early 2000's. A Baltimore Sun editorial said he brought nothing to the table but his skin color. Elected Democrats said he was an uncle tom and a token. Sounds like you're another racist, too bad in this "progressive" state, the first African American elected to statewide office was a Republican named Michael Steele. Shows what one GOP governor in 40 years can do for progress.

10:27 - I think we are on the same team. That said, I believe that our friend in the White House is to be credited with getting out the Repub vote during the midterm elections; much more so than M. Steele. As RNC chairman, Michael Steele was unable to keep his foot out of his mouth and the media ate him alive.
