Who is Michael Steele

Former Lt. Governor of Mayland Michael Steele is the current ected Chairman of the Republican National Committee. His election is proving to be slightly controversial, considering the surrounding circumstances. Staunch conservatives do not appreciate Steele being a moderate, and his election in 2009, soon after the inauguration of President Barack Obama, is purported by some to be an insincere and racially motivated counter-measure by the Republican Party to appease minority voters. However, despite any perceived controversy surrounding his election, there is no question that Michael Steele is both competent and committed to furthering the mission of the Republican Party, and extending it's reach beyond traditional borders.
