Don't expect much from me for a while
CNN reports my earlier enthusiasm regarding Michael Steele has not only been dashed, it's been pulverized.
Sen. Mel Martinez, a Florida Republican elected in 2004, has accepted an offer by the White House to become the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, three sources tell CNN.The folks commenting over at Redstate are singing the refrain.
For the first time since I started this blog - hell, for the first time in my life - I'm considering that perhaps the Republican Party is a lost cause. If conservatives lose out in the leadership elections, I may not have a political home any longer.

I completely agree with you. I was dumbstruck when I heard that Martinez was chosen to head the RNC.
This only confirms my suspicion that the election was handed to the democrats so President Bush could get his "comprehensive immigration reform" package. In looking at the results of this election and the nature of President Bushes remarks to the press, I believe it was Rove's job to make sure that the House went democrat.
I was very disappointed when Michael Steele was not able to get enough votes to prevail against the "hate Bush vote". I thought that he would have made a good RNC Head. He ran a great campaign and seems to be a real standup guy.
Martinez is an amnesty fan. The RNC has left it's roots. Law abiding citizens are being disenfranchised.
I don't believe that President Bush cares if another Republican is ever elected.
