Steele Suggests GOP Isn't Ready to Take Over

RNC chairman Michael Steele continues his streak of gaffes. The Wall Street Journal has more:
An interview with Michael Steele on a conservative program seemed like the perfect venue for the Republican National Committee chairman to hawk his new book. But Steele also offered up new ammunition to Democratic opponents when he questioned whether the GOP was ready to lead on the chance Republicans win a House majority in the 2010 midterm elections.

...[Conservative pundit Sean] Hannity urged the chairman to “answer your own question” on the GOP’s ability to lead. Steele’s response? “I don’t know, and that’s what I’m assessing and evaluating right now.”

...“Admitting that Republicans aren’t ready to lead is the most honest thing Michael Steele has said in his life,” tooted Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan.
