Results of the fourth ballot in the contest for Republican National Committee chairman:

Katon Dawson -- 62 (up 28 from the third ballot)
Michael Steele -- 60 (up 9)
Saul Anuzis -- 31 (up 7)
Ken Blackwell -- 15 (no change)

Dawson apparently has been the big beneficiary of Chairman Mike Duncan's withdrawal from the race. He is now 23 votes away from the magic number of 85 needed to win. Lots of speculation here over what Blackwell will do.

It's been a long day. Can someone please check my first RNC post and see who I predicted would win?
