Michael Steele's Chief of Staff resigns in part due to the spending scandal at a risque night club with a bondage theme. Will Steele survive? The GOP has a real quandary: running as a "family values" party sits pretty well with much of the electorate, but that also requires that the face of the GOP abide by those same values. When an RNC staffer blows $2,000 on a club, why would donors wit deep pockets pony up? There were already criticisms of four star hotels and lavish dinners by the leadership. Steele may survive, but, regardless, it hurts the GOP at the time it is having trouble getting traction against a Democratic Congress with abyssmal approval ratings and a president whom Rasmussne reports 42% of the public strongly disapproves of his the job he is doing.
