First Impression: Michael Steele
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1229151082.shtml


   I chanced to hear Michael Steele filling in for Bill Bennett this
   morning on The Patriot (1280 AM). It was so inspiring, I stimulated
   the economy by signing up for Bennett's premium site to get the
   podcast including today's show.
   I don't consider Bennett a great host or his show a great show, but he
   is one of radio's best interviewers. So, I think I'll try it a month
   or two.
   But getting back to Steele, I was really impressed. The entire 3 hours
   were a great lift against all the bad news of late.
   Steele, the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and current chair
   of GOPAC, is currently seeking the Republican National Committee
   chair. More importantly to me, he exudes confidence borne of a clear
   grasp of the issues and the current political realities. He is polite
   and polished, but playfully injects a little street dialect from time
   to time to keep it real.
   Rumors of the death of the GOP may be premature, not to mention
   Governors Jindal, Palin, and yes, Pawlenty.
