The author of this post seems somewhat surprised that RNC Chairman Michael Steele is going to take the fall if Republicans don't score major wins in November.
I'm not sure how Steele doesn't get blamed. After surprising upsets in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, Steele was quite to claim responsibility.

And here we go again. There were reports earlier this summer that RNC Chairman Michael Steele met with a group interested in passing comprehensive immigration reform, and some suggested that he even promised GOP support.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele is calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to open an investigation into claims that the White House offered a job to Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) in exchange for dropping out of the Senate race earlier this year.
If you ask me, this sounds an awful lot like the situation in Illinois, where Governor Rod Blagojevich tried to trade Barack Obama's Senate seat for a political appointment.
