First African American Chair of the RNC

Michael Steele

Michael Steele is the first African American Chair of the Republican National Committee. 

This could be good or bad.  The RNC is a big mess these days, and with the ideological differences and the anger following 8 years of Bush, this might not be the best position for Steele right now.   That said, it’s great that they’ve brought an African American to the head of a party not known for its diversity efforts.
