...Almost immediately upon his selection, Steele proceeded to put his foot in his mouth, selling his vision of a more pluralistic GOP in offensively stereotypical racial terminology. His greatest hits include boasting of his “off the hook” plan to reach out to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings,” offering to woo blacks into the party with “fried chicken and potato salad,” and saying President Obama’s stimulus program “is just a wish list from a lot of people...

Obama will almost certainly opt out of the matching-funds system for the nomination period and public financing for the general election, raising record amounts of cash from the day he commences his effort through November 2012 (in particular, his Internet fundraising power will be re-established). No doubt his Republican challengers will...
