NC GOP wants national party head Steele to quit

[ccharles000]

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The head of the North Carolina Republican Party asked Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele to step down Thursday, saying the resignation is the only way to end scrutiny of the national party over lavish spending.

A day earlier, national party leaders had a conference call with Steele but didn't bring up the prospect of his resignation - seen as a positive sign for the embattled national chairman.

North Carolina's Tom Fetzer is the first state party chairman to call for Steele's resignation, a spokesman for Fetzer said. Fetzer said the move would ensure Republicans maximize gains during the mid-term elections.

"I believe that the best service you can render to your party at this critical juncture is to graciously step aside and allow the party to move on from this current quagmire," Fetzer wrote in a letter to Steele.
