Republicans took a page right of out their play book securing Micheal Steele as the first African-American to chair the Republican National Committee [RNC]. Let me just preface this with a warning: expect to see many more black men in particular run for office from class president to head of organizations in hopes that Pres. Obama spirit will rub off on their white counterparts.
Steele did just that, he’s considered quite the outsider yet here he is running and winning – he would have had NO chance a few years ago - since he failed to win a Senate seat in 2006. And he's already getting drunk off his victory saying, "I would say to the new president, congratulations. It is going to be an honour to spar with him. And I would follow that up with: How do you like me now?"

This one is hard to swallow as a heart-felt victory, you can't help but think that Steele will be the token negro of the Republican party who will be the "bulldog" to say all the bad things they don't want to and no one can't cry racism because look: Steele is black!! HaHa - I can see it now. Let’s wait and see how he plays with Obama or rather how the ‘real’ heads of the RNC plays him against Obama.
