The Republican National Committee did a good job of building up chairman Michael Steele’s speech to the state chairmen’s convention today as an event, with some leaks about him threatening to resign. In reality, the speech is a gutsy turnaround attempt, previewed by a Steele op-ed today, in which he promises that Republicans will “speak truth to power” and “take the president head-on.” The (accidentally?) newsy bit of this is that he suggests an end to attacks on other members of the Democratic Party.
