Despite a rocky start, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has mojo when it comes to raising money and finding new donors. "Fundraising has been his saving grace," says a party ally. The proof: When Steele started in February, the party received donations from an average of 328 new donors a day. Now it's 2,000 new donors a day, paying an average of $40.

to the credit of Steele. Money is pouring in now because SOME of the right-wingers have begun to think they are winning a national debate on whether Obama should be hated for various reasons.

ya know I was against this guy taking over the Gop but with the desperate Liberals trying to take advantage of Bush Hatred seems logical to have an African American in there to deflect the race Card. For example look at the fact that people are mad about Goverment Abuse and remember Republicans dont play politics like Democrats there too nice.
