Since they can’t fire Michael Steele they will just pretend he doesn’t exist and take away all his job responsibilities.
“Everyone is basically working around him,” said former GOP Rep. Vin Weber of Minnesota, who added that Steele has marginalized himself further with every gaffe.
“Republicans have sort of put together a mode of operation for this election cycle that does not put the RNC chairman in a central role,” Weber said. “That’s not the optimal way of handling things. But in a very strange way that gives him some protection because there’s no urgency to replace him — no matter how grave of a misstep he made.”
Steele canceled a scheduled meeting in Colorado and I suspect he won’t be rescheduling. He’s not a zombie, exactly, because he’s not dead. But he’s something like a zombie. This should be entertaining.
