steele as their spokesman they tend to work around the rnc rather than engage mr.steele. you irrelevant? >> no, i'm not irrelevant. and god bless fred barnes. if he only called me and talked with me, i would have shared withim some very interesting infortion. it's easy t write that without knowledge and, clearly, he is without knowledge here. the fact of the matter is, number one, we have been outraged recently, recently by the democra, because they have the white house, the congress and the senate. we don't. yet in 2009, we out-raised the democrats in seven out of eleven months. we're keeping pace with the democrats right now. i really appreciate the question. i've said from the very beginning, i would be a different kind of chairman, because this is a different time for us, for our party. i wanted us to play on all 50 states. i wanted us to be out in the communities. i wanted a grassroots, bottom-up party that was focused on what the people want out there. we put in place around this country a network now that you're going to see unleashed on november 2nd. >> so you'll

this basically cause a hemorrhage of longtime fundraisers and donors at the rnc. some of their biggest fund- raisers from contributors, started to get jittery about things and were not participating in rnc programs. it was partly a personal thing. some did not feel they were getting enough attention from the new chairman, michael steele. with this as a backdrop, karl rove and ed gillespie began thinking about a need for a better outside machine, if you will, to hp republicans. they looked back to what some democrats had done in 2004 and 2006 with outside groups. they say they were inspired by what democratic groups had done previously. when citizens united ruling came down in january, it was a godsend relief for their effort because it freed up corporations and unions and others to give unlimited amoun to run campaign ads and conduct other activities. previously there had been limits. american crossroads opened its doors first in march. it was a 527 group, which means basically it had to disclose its donors. we have learned to some of them are coming mainly texas

the sometimes controversial head of the rnc, i think that is accurate to say.onetheless michael steele speaking now in anaheim, california. really just sort of doing the thank yous and introducing people. as you know, any time he speaks in front of a crowd that is cheering him on like this, he is going to say something that you will find interesting. i am sure. after michael steele speaks you're going to hear sarah palin. she's going to be speaking at that same rally. for those of you just joining us, this rally is called victory 2010 sprint to the finish rally. out in california. and it is republicans gathering themselves and strategizing with just 17 days before the election. michael steele speaking. let's listen in now. >> you helped inspire this moment. thank you all, so much. god bless your effort. and so what we want to do to help a few brothers out and sisters in congress, if you want to fire nancy pelosi, ladies and gentlemen -- and i know you do. but if you want to fire nancy pelosi, you must first hire van tran to the united states congress. right now

. >> we saw sarah palin at an rnc rally in florida beating the drum against big government. she also cuts two ways for republicans but do they all benefit from the enthusiasm she's generating? we hear about the enthusiasm gap. >> i think there's no question about if. for conservatives, they're ready to send a message to washington, a message of opposition to democrats. sarah palin has gotten that group energized, gotten conservatives energized, got the tea parties energized. there's ups and there's down. the down part is there's christine o'donnell who sarah palin helped and now she's way behind in delaware and yet she's done more damage as frankly a poor candidate. she's also hurt the republican brand and it's starting to infect the race in pennsylvania, helping the democrat there because there's some independent voters in that area who say, wait a minute, this is not the conservative movement that i want to be a part of. >> give us a status check in the final days. are there any signs this election may not follow the conventional script that many think it will of a big rep

the rnc is going to host fund-raisers with sarah palin. as first reported by politico.com.l be at the victory 2010 rallies in anaheim, california next month and in orlando, florida. michael steele will be there too. but you can see who's doing the headlining. the 1 whose name is in big blue cursive letters, the honorable sarah palin. did i say that cursively enough? for a meter $30,000 a couple you can get a private meeting with sarah palin. any average folks with $30,000 burning a hole in their pocket can meet the woman from wasilla. that's how michael steele with return to politics, through the grace and fund-raising of sarah palin. the split seams are sewn. the lion lays down with the lamb. instead of the brave new republican world, it goes back to being 2010 again. how are you getting to a happier place? running there? dancing there? how about eating soup to get there? campbell's soups fill you with good nutrition, farm-grown ingredients, and can help you keep a healthy weight. campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do. even if you think your mattress is just fine... as

the rnc and the le leadership of this party as my masters.y appreciated, i've had to put up with that crap my entire political life. so i'm really disappointed in your reference there and would appreciate a correction to the record, because you can imagine if the rnc referred to barack obama as the slave to the democratic party or more appropriately as you put it, the democratic party is master to barack obama. it would be hitting the roof on the air. i think we need to check that. >> i called him back immediately and apologized for using the word he found offensive. those of us who are not decendents from slaves can never know the full impact of the word master in the ears of an african-american man. michael steele told me, "it sort of stung." he could not have been more gracious and forgiving, he also told me, "the interview was a lot of fun, i loved our give and take, i will be back on the show." i invited him on the show tonight so i could apologize to him directly in front of everyone who had seen the interview. that wasn't necessary, an
