RNC Chairman Mike Steele did the rounds on television this morning.
He blasted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comparison of health care to civil rights, but also said there's no reason Reid should not have the votes yet on the health care bill.
On MSNBC's Morning Joe today for a long segment, Steele said the bill is "whacked out" but said the Republicans have not been able to obstruct.
But in a bit of a math conundrum, Steele repeatedly says that Reid has a "20-seat majority" so, "why can't he pass the daggone bill?"
Here's Steele v. Reid v. Donnie Deutsch on the civil rights comments.

Did Michael Steele just admit that the GOP is irrelevant to the health care debate?

I think he wants Reid to smack Joe Lieberman upside the head.

Well, I think the Republicans have already demonstrated over the past few years that math (including electoral math)isn't exactly their strong suit.
