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

Mike Duncan -- 48 (down 4 from first ballot)
Michael Steele -- 48 (up 2)
Katon Dawson -- 29 (up 1)
Saul Anuzis -- 24 (up 2)
Ken Blackwell -- 19 (down 1)

A gasp in the audience greeted the news that Steele had drawn even with Duncan. I think people are finally realizing that the longer this goes on, the less likelihood there will be ScuttleButton puzzle today. Maybe that explains the gasp.

A majority of RNC members -- 85 -- is needed to win.
