Asserts the moderate-conservative former chairman of the Republican National Committee. From Politico: "Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele expressed consternation Friday over self-centered speeches at the Republican National Convention, suggesting that they took attention away from what should be the main attraction: Mitt Romney. 'One of the distractions, quite frankly, in this whole narrative week was everyone talking about themselves and not Mitt Romney,' said Steele on MSNBC’s 'Morning Joe.' 'The campaign signing off on this in speeches that had, the first 20 minutes in some cases, and Mitt Romney’s name is not mentioned.'"
More from Mr. Steele: "The speeches were 'about the individual who is speaking as opposed to coming on the stage and laying down the lead on this man, and why they are standing there fighting and supporting him,' Steele added."
