Michael Steele
Who He Is: Currently the chairman of GOPAC, former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland

What He Represents: The moderate wing of the Republican party, such as it is. Sharply charming, he was the candidate most willing to publicly criticize President Bush during the debate, saying there has been a "failure to communicate on the war, Katrina, the bailout." He also was critical of the GOP's sometimes opportunistic use of black Republicans such as himself, saying that sometimes they are only put out on "display."

Sample Line from the Debate: “Republicans should have had more you-know-what to withstand the pressure [on the bailout.]"
