Gail Gitcho offers this statement on behalf of Mitt Romney:
"Chairman Steele regrets the way his comments have been interpreted. Chairman Steele believes Mitt Romney is a respected and influential voice in the Republican Party and looks to his leadership and ideas to help move our party and our nation in the right direction."
The right messenger. Gitcho was a spokesman for the Mitt Romney campaign in '08.
UPDATE: Kathryn Jean Lopez:
.... Michael Steele really does need to decide if he is RNC head or talking head.
