RNC Chair Steele Pays Partial Compliment and "Defends" Palin?

RNC Chair Michael Steele paid a partial compliment to Palin, when discussing her ability to galvanize voters, urged the Republican Party to "chill out".

“You know, in the words of Bill Clinton, I feel her pain, you know?” Steele said in an interview on “Political Capital with Al Hunt”. “My goal -- and I know Sarah’s goal has been -- let’s take the party and put it on the streets.”

He also added that Palin’s ability “in terms of galvanizing our ground game, galvanizing our troops, moving people to actions -- that’s a very powerful force in politics.”
