Gingrich confidant picks Steele in RNC chairmanship race

The Republican National Committee is scheduled to tear itself apart Friday over the vote for a new chairman.

Chris Cillizza of The Fix at the Washington Post had this overlooked tidbit:

Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele’s candidacy got a nice burst of momentum yesterday when Randy Evans, a top lieutenant to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, released a letter in support of his candidacy, praising Steele as “the combination of voice, values and vision necessary to lead us to a better party.” (The former House speaker will not endorse anyone in the RNC contest, his spokesman said Wednesday.)

However, where Evans goes, Gingrich can’t be far behind.
