Has Michael Steele averted the cultural and political train-wreck that would have come from the RNC’s proposed “Democrat Socialist Party” resolution? That’s what CNN now reports.
RNC member David Norcross of New Jersey, who had been a sponsor of the resolution, told CNN: “The language is being changed so that the proposers and chairman Steele are on the same page.” Steele had opposed this thing from the start, and had sought to avoid the spectacle — yes, Michael Steele thought this was too goofy.
Instead, Norcross said the resolution will now simply “condemn the Democrats’ march to socialism” instead of renaming the Dems as the “Democrat Socialist Party.” Wisconsin GOP chairman Reince Priebus, a Steele ally, predicted that such an altered version should pass easily once the final language has cleared the resolutions committee.
