We have to admit, when we first started watching this C-SPAN video of RNC Chairman and D.C. native Michael Steele talking to students at H.D. Woodson Senior High School, we were ready to scoff. Really Michael Steele, we wondered, do you actually want to tell students in DCPS, where only one out of ten students ever graduate from college, that while at Johns Hopkins, "I partied my behind off," and "I heard there were classes" and then mock the letter announcing that you had been kicked out?

We're not sure what's more amazing, that the Republican National Committee has chosen a black man as its leader, or that Michael Steele actually got elected to something. Chris Cillizza has the details of the many, many ballots it took before Steele was handed the prize today at the Capital Hilton here in Washington. Steele, a D.C. native, was previously the chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, the GOP nominee in the Maryland Senate race in 2006, and the lieutenant governor of Maryland under Ehrlich.

Last week we brought you extensive coverage of the D.C. delegation's activities at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Now that the Republican National Convention is underway in St. Paul, can you expect the same kind of reporting? No, but it's not for lack of trying.
