Steele: what might have been

Michael Steele gave a smart, funny and principled presentation to the National Review "Conservative Summit" this afternoon. Afterwards, he was mobbed like a rock star by young and not so young alike.

Steele was rumored to be the next RNC chairman, a post given to Mel Martinez instead. "For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'" (John Greenleaf Whittier).
