I think, in large part, you are right. And I also believe the GOP is gearing up, in a very proper and aggressive way to deal with 2010 and 2012. Steele is a good move for RNC chair. And Gingrich has indicated that he is interested in running in 2012. I'm getting very excited about it.
If republicans have any sense, Steele is excellent for RNC chair -- I was really disappointed that he didn't win the Senate seat and I hope he keeps that ad company on tap for the future. I've been watching Newt for years and always wanted to see him run for Prez as he's wonderfully articulate and has common sense (an uncommon thing these days). Right now I'd like to see a Steele/Palin ticket but it's early days for that kind of thing. A lot can change in two years which is essentially what we're looking at before we start up this never-ending campaign nonsense again. It'll sure be interesting to watch!
