that's the double-factor, ridiculous in this. what i wanted to say is that michael steele asked me to take on the cochair manship of a major effort within party and for that i respect him and i'm working very hard in redistricting as cochairman under john rider's leadership but i will say that barack obama will be defeated in the next election because the american public will see his big government power grab, his assault on the u.s. constitution, as something worthy of his defeat. michael has to stand tall, he has to right the ship, and he can do that by saying, look, there's a disturbing pattern that calls for transparency, it calls for greater accountability. his job is to build the capacity of the party to win elections at
