DescriptionMichael Steele's bid for a second term as chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) is doomed, according to a former head of the party.

Mike Duncan, who held the top RNC post from 2007 to 2009, told cn|2 Politics's Ryan Alessi he thinks Steele is effectively "out of the race."

"I think there have been so many people who have announced — particularly from his core group of supporters — that they won't support him again, that he probably falls by the wayside after the first or second ballot," Duncan said.

Steele faces four challengers in his bid for a second two-year term. Duncan wouldn't point to a front-runner to succeed the chairman. "It's probably wide open," he said.
