a great mayor for the city of raleigh. chairman steele agrees on one thing in his letter. this it larger than about one person. look at event behind me you've been televising for the past day. republicans are enthusiastic. they know these issues are important. it is important that we fight health care. bart stupak himself made himself accountable today by announcing his retirement. important that we have republicans fighting to make sure that president obama and senate democrats don't push through another liberal judge. because we just can't afford that. that is a fight we'll make at the republican national committee. that is a fight chairman steele will make. we have state party chairs and national committee men who are supportive and putting it together for us. at end of the day we can talk amongst ourselves or beat democrats. that is our priority. doug, hotline is reporting there is letter going around to be signed by state party chairs in support of chairman steele and that as of late last night,ly 14 of the 50 chairs had signed it.
