Michael Steele for Maryland governor? The former RNC chairman says he just might be showing up on the ballot.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown” on Monday, Steele confirmed to Chuck Todd he was considering a run for the governorship.


“We’re looking at it. I mean we’re going to take a look at the numbers, Maryland’s a tough state, there are a lot of challenges,” Steele said.

Steele said he was motivated by a love of service and a desire to move Maryland in a “different direction,” especially economically.

We should be properly appreciative of this kind of quality entertainment.

1. He needs to run to bolster his campaign war chest.

Bring in twice what you spend. Hopefully, you'll lose and get to spend the money for doing nothing.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

2. If he wins....

We can thank MSNBC for all the free air time he was given.

3. If Maryland wants a smiley, good-natured, rather dim Governor

who hasn't figured out that the GOP is a party of pathetic tools like himself, he's their man.

11. Trust me. We Marylanders won't make the same mistake twice.

4. He's just a puppet of the big corporate interests

7. !!!!!

5. I'd like to think Marylanders are much more intelligent

in terms of picking gubernatorial candidates and governors.


OTOH, some of us (not me!) did elect Robert Ehrlich.

8. Steele was Ehrlich's running mate

I could not stand him then, and I cannot stand him now. When I heard him make that statement on MSNBC about thinking about running, I thought I would croak.

9. Yep. The Barf Brothers.

Dumb and Dumber.

6. Break out the Tin Foil Hats!

...or should I say, Aluminum Hats.

[KinMd]

10. Long shot for any Republican in MAryland

..but IF there was a Republican elected, we could do alot worst than Michael Steele

[sofa king]

12. He has a strong association with Chevy Chase...

... In that they are both accomplished stage pratfallers.

Hope that joke was a double-dip for our Maryland friends.
