Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council is aghast at Steele's apparently pro-choice comments to GQ, comments which Steele has tried to walk back.I'm not sure, and while Steele might have survived so far, his odds of keeping his job have gone from 50-50 to much, much less.Ken Blackwell, Steele's former rival for RNC chair, saw fit to chime in, saying Steele "needs to get to work -- or get out of the way."
Mike Huckabee called Steele's pro-choice comments "a violation of the most basic of human rights."
GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone tells TPMDC that the GQ interview was "one more nail in the coffin" for Steele.
Even if Steele were to immediately cease sticking his foot in his own mouth, are there any other ticking time bombs like the GQ interview that have yet to go off?
He's in real trouble, and the self-immolation of Steele is just indicitive of the deep and divisive problems inside the modern, post-Obama GOP.
