Michael Steele Book Tour: Not Sure GOP Ready To Win Or Lead (VIDEO)

WASHINGTON ? Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele offers a simple
explanation for why the GOP all too often lost touch with typical
Americans since the Ronald Reagan era: "We screwed up," he claims in a
new book offering a blueprint for the party's resurgence.

That "we" includes the last two Republican presidents and the most
recent Republican candidate for president.

In "Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda,"
released Monday by Regnery Publishing, Steele says the GOP should
acknowledge where "we most glaringly compromised our principles" in
the past decade and hold its elected officials accountable.

"We must support Republican officials who assert these principles," he
writes. "When elected Republicans vote against Republican principles,
the voters must withhold their support ? withhold it vigorously and
consistently."

Promoting the book on Fox News on Monday, Steele told Sean Hannity
that Republicans couldn't retake the House of Representatives in 2010
and added that he wasn't even sure they were ready to lead.

Asked if GOPers will take back the House, Steele said, "Not this
year."

"I don't know all the candidates yet," Steele continued. "We still
have some vacancies that need to get filled, but then the question we
need to ask ourselves is: If we do that, are we ready?"

"You don't think so?" Hannity asked.

"I don't know. And that's what I'm assessing and evaluating right
now," Steele responded. "Those candidates who are looking to run have
to be anchored in these principles.... because if they don't, then
they'll get to Washington, and they'll start drinking that Potomac
River water, and they'll get drunk with power and throw the steps out
the window."

... and once Republican Thought-Czar Limbaugh is out of the hospital,
Steele might be able to relay just what those lost "principles" are
supposed to be.
