A 'Draft Steele' Effort
A petition is circulating online to draft former MD Lt. Gov. Michael Steele for Republican National Committee chairman. Steele served one four-year term in MD's No. 2 job. He ran for U.S. Senate in 2006 but was defeated by then-Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin.
The political consulting firm Marsh Copsey & Associates is pushing the draft effort. Tony Marsh, an Annapolis resident, is friends with Steele.
