Michael Steele Takes On Palin, Limbaugh: ‘Your Opinion Really Doesn’t
Matter Much’

By Lee Fang


RNC Chairman Michael Steele endorsed moderate Assemblywoman Dede
Scozzafava (R-NY) in the NY-23 special election before national
conservative leaders — like Dick Armey, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and
Sarah Palin — forced Scozzafava out in favor of right-wing candidate
Doug Hoffman.

Following Hoffman’s defeat, Steele struck back at firebrands within
his party, telling reporters earlier today that the opinion of
conservative outsiders “really doesn’t matter much”:


STEELE:

If you don’t live in the district, don’t vote there, your opinion
really doesn’t matter much.


Later this afternoon, CNN host Wolf Blitzer asked Steele specifically
about outsiders like Palin and Limbaugh, who loudly pushed the
nominated Republican Scozzafava out of the race.

Steele affirmed that he “hopes” those right-wing voices do not
continue to meddle in Republican primaries:


BLITZER:

Are you worried Mr. Chairman that Sarah Palin for example, or Rush
Limbaugh or others in the conservative movement are going to go into
some of these contests and go after the more moderate Republicans who
might actually have a better chance at winning in the general
election.

STEELE:

Well, I hope not. [...] So I’m hoping not, and that’s not in their
nature.
