Add Michael Steele to GOP Vice President List
There's a new twist in the GOP vice presidential parlor game.
Republican insiders are floating the name of Michael Steele, the black former Maryland lieutenant governor and Senate candidate. "He's got it all plus he has more executive experience than Barack Obama," says one advocate. Steele ran a highly praised, folksy Senate campaign in 2006, in a year when President Bush's bad poll ratings dragged down Republicans in Democratic states. That year, Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich also lost his bid for a second term in Annapolis. His advocates say that besides offering Sen. John McCain diversity, he displays youth and vigor and adds to the senator's straight-talk theme. He currently runs GOPAC.

Don't know much about Steele, but what I do know is all good. I truly believe I would have absolutely no qualms in voting such a ticket.

I've been promoting Steele as the best choice for McCain! He is absolutely perfect. As a Marylander, I know. We think very highly of him. It's encouraging to see folks from other states recognize his talent and charisma!
