Fox News Reports Michael Steele Will Run Again For RNC Chair

» 9 comments

Fox News has just reported on Your World that Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele will announce tonight that he will, indeed, run for re-election.

The RNC chair’s next move has been the subject of intense speculation–and rumors of high profile candidates who might throw their hats in the RNC race–with the RNC chair position being seen as a key determining factor in which players are prevailing as the party heads toward challenging President Obama in 2012.

Here’s the Fox report, which ran on FNC at 4 p.m.:

“Controversial Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who last month presided over the GOP’s biggest electoral gain since 1938, will announce tonight that he is running for reelection. FOX News has just learned that from two RNC members. Steele plans to throw his hat into the ring during a conference call with RNC members at 7:30 pm tonight, these sources have told us. Steele is said to be amused by these false reports of his retirement and intentionally kept his plans secret for the past month in order to flush out competitors for the post, FOX has learned.”

    He has made mistakes but I believe he will learn from those mistakes and become a better GOP leader. I would support his reelection to the post.

    Personally, Micheal Steele seems like a good guy. But he’s been a disaster as RNC head.

    The GOP should give the job to Palin; that way, she’ll reveal how terrible of an executive she is and Mediaite can stop publishing stories about her.

    No, this is great news. Michael Steele is to financial austerity what David Vitter is to family values.

    The GOP won’t be happy about this. They want to get rid of him, but do not have the balls to do so. Secretly they’d wish he would just go away, but he just wont go away, what a headache. ahhh

    The Republicans need Steele, they need more diversity in their party.
