Since Steele is the new RNC head, you might as well familiarize yourself with the Oreo tossing myth

Milking a story for all it's worth, media uncritically report crumbling allegation that Democrats threw Oreos at Steele

since it's bound to come up in stupid stories, emails, Hannity probably, etc.

1. I think the hard core pubs are going to reject him, but if he meant

what he said, I think he COULD save the party. I only heard one brief comment from him, but he said "we have to give up the old ideas of the 80's and look to the ideas of today!" Now, I understand he is saying give up on the worn out Reagan ideas, and a whole lot of Puba wukk hate him for that, but IF he actually means that, and can somehow push it through the party, they have a shot at coming back.

2. Pretty much what he said on Hannity tonight.

3. Black republicans

are the same as log cabin republicans. Snuggle up to the pubs so some of that money will "trickle down".
