But the only reason “Palin is basically in a statistical tie with Romney and Huckabee for the pole position in the 2012 primary,” is because 10% of the Wingnuts want someone in charge who’s too stupid to ask questions when they request financial bailouts amounting to trillions of dollars, 40% want lower taxes, regardless of the consequences, and the other 50% are desperate for a candidate they can masturbate to during the SOTU address.

I would say that he has such an overwhelmingly overly inflated sense of his importance that it puts to shame bursting tight baloons world-wide. Even reasonbly powerful RNC chairs don’t ‘groom’ Presidential candidates, that decision is made far above their paygrade by a combination of the top electeds and the paymasters for the party, you know the guys that pay the bills to keep the lights on in Steele’s office. This goes double when you are the compromise choice after multiple rounds of voting.

Steele is a lackey who doesn’t seem to know his place. And you can bet that in their private thoughts and private meetings some of the real movers and shakers of the party have a more apt name that they dare not utter publicly.

While I am not a big fan of J.C. Watts, at least he had the self-awareness to see exactly how he was being used by the GOP and knew enough to step away from the game. Michael S is in the position of being a Ken Blackwell wannabe (a pretty pathetic situation in itself) while thinking of himself as The Man of Steele.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while, it seems that Goldfarb has properly identified the nut in quesiton.
