Steele Calls Out DNC For Its Commitment To Deeds

RNC Chair Michael Steele looked pretty confident when asked talking about Virgina in an interview on Fox News this morning. He's got good reason to smile: a week before voters go to the polls to choose a new governor, GOP nominee Bob McDonnell is dominating the polls with double-digit leads.

Steele seemed so sure of a GOP win in Virginia he was already taking credit for his part in it. The RNC has spent more than $8 million on McDonnell this year. The DNC has only offered Deeds a $6 million investment.

"You've got the DNC running ads on YouTube and on Facebook," Steele said. "But we put real resources on the ground."

DNC spokesperson Brandi Hoffine responded to Steele's take on the spending. "Considering the RNC spent $1.4 million on a new website that was riddled with errors and that became the laughing stock of the industry, we're not too concerned with what Michael Steele thinks is an appropriate allocation of resources," she said.
