He defeated Katon Dawson 91-77 on the sixth ballot.
Some speech highlights:
“To Americans who believe in the future of this country…to those who stand in difference with us. It’s time for something completely different. We’re gonna bring this party to every corner, to every boardroom, to every community, and we’re gonna say to every friend and foe alike, we want you to be a part of us, and to those of you who wish to obstruct…get ready to get knocked over.” - Michael Steele
“We stand proud as the conservative party of the United States.” - Michael Steele
“We will cede no ground to anyone on matters of principle.” - Michael Steele
“God bless you and God bless our party.” - Michael Steele
He can’t possibly be worse than Duncan’s disastrous reign. He just needs to get off his “let’s apologize for Katrina” bandwagon and change his gun control stance and he’ll be a pretty dang good chairman.
Time to start the rebuilding process and take back the House in 2010!
