A Black Republican in a Blue State

James Taranto has a good piece on Michael Steele, the black Republican running for Senate in Maryland:
When Michael Steele was running for lieutenant governor in 2002, the Baltimore Sun endorsed the opposing ticket and opined dismissively that Mr. Steele "brings little to the team but the color of his skin." Normally this would be an invidious thing to say about a black politician, but the usual rules of racial etiquette don't seem to apply when it comes to Mr. Steele. For he is a Republican.

The more I read about Steele, the more I like him. Read the whole thing here.
