Not So Cool at All: So Much For the Steele Chairmanship

Mel Martinez as RNC Chair.

He'll be doing that and the Senate gig.

A Steele chairmanship and a Pence/Shadegg House leadership takeover would really have helped me warm back up the Republican Party in this cold, cold time, but the first is a bust and the second ain't looking great. Guess I'll remain chilly, as will much of the base. Feel the love.

How does Martinez score on the all-important immigration issue, which undoubtedly kept many Republicans ticked off enough to stay on their duffs this year? Oh.

I really want a reason to be excited about these guys and they refuse to give me one.
