Sounds like Republicans aren't very happy with RNC Chair Michael Steele:
Some senior party officials are maneuvering to put pressure on Michael Steele, the controversial party chairman, not to seek re-election when his term ends in January or, failing that, to encourage a challenger to step forward to take him on.
So far, the effort has been tentative, with Mr. Steele's most ardent opponents working behind the scenes to persuade an alternative to run against him — fearful that any overt moves will create a backlash in Mr. Steele's favor among those committee members who tend to view the establishment in Washington with suspicion.
If we judge these actions based on the standard set by Republicans' reaction to Bill Clinton trying to persuade Kendrick Meek to exit the Florida Senate race in order to give Charlie Crist a better chance of beating Marco Rubio, then the Republican Party is made up entirely of incorrigible racists, because there's no other compelling political reason for thinking that Steele should be replaced.
Optics-wise, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is probably not the best person to be leading the effort to oust Steele.
