And the backlash against Michael Steele begins.<\/a><\/p>\n

A GOP aide involved in the 2010 election effort emails angrily: \u201cWhy the hell is Steele, chairman of the RNC (!!), talking about a southern strategy from decades past when today\u2019s GOP can win 50 seats in the House and 10 in the Senate this cycle in districts north\/south\/east\/west?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jealous much? \t\t<\/a>
Michael Steele discovers political parties are supposed to raise more money than they spend, is offended.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Michael Steele, a high-living and exquisitely inadvertent quote machine is the best RNC Chair a Democrat ever had.

Barack Obama is crisscrossing the country shaking down his fat-cat pals for campaign cash:<\/p>\n

* Boston, April 1: $2.5 million.
* Miami, April 15: $2.5 million.
* Los Angeles, April 19: $3.5 million. <\/p>\n

These are the latest stops on his whirlwind fundraising tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, Michael Steele has discovered that politicians, especially powerful ones, have the incredible ability to RAISE cash, not just spend it. This is something even Sarah Palin knows — incredibly well<\/a>. And when Sarah Palin is wiser to the ways of the world than you, well, you are the best RNC Chair a Democrat ever had.<\/p>\n
