At RNC, Michael Steele is man who doesn’t exist
*snip*
Steele was chairman when the party selected Tampa as the site of its 2012 convention. Steele was chairman when the GOP came roaring back after defeats in 2006 and 2008 to pick up 63 seats to gain control of the House in 2010, and also to gain six seats to greatly strengthen its position in the Senate. In addition, during Steeles time in office, Republicans won key governorships in New Jersey and Virginia.
But at the University Club, Steele was not only not there; he wasnt noted or referenced. In public remarks, no one said anything bad about him, and no one said anything good about him. He just didnt exist.
I have not been invited to the convention at all, Steele says. Their view is, the less we talk about him, we dont invite him, we ignore him it just didnt happen. But those 63 seats in the House did happen. They may want to ignore me, but they dont want to ignore what I did. Its just sad.
I would have loved to have been there to salute the work of the party and see former chairmen, Steele adds. But I guess Im not a member of that club.
