Michael S. Steele (born October 19, 1958) is the chairman of GOPAC and a former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, having been elected on the same ticket as Governor Robert L. Ehrlich in 2002. He is the first African American to serve in a Maryland state-wide office and the first Republican lieutenant governor in the state since the position was created in 1970. He was, at the time, the highest-ranking elected African American Republican in the United States. On October 25, 2005, Steele announced his candidacy for the United States Senate seat being vacated by retiring senator Paul Sarbanes. On November 7, 2006, Steele lost the election to Democratic Congressman Ben Cardin. He currently appears on CNN's The Situation Room and various shows on FOX News as a political pundit. He is considered to be a possible VP pick for Senator John McCain.

If he had Powell he would appeal to many more people IMO.  I like Powell as a candidate but I don't think he will ever run.

He will never run. He could never run. Bush & his cronies co-erced him into a dangerous game, and they systematically destroyed any chance he ever had as a political candidate in the US. He lost his credibility with the UN speech

Yep.  I'd love to see him pull that off (convince Powell to run).
