Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is scheduled to appear as the featured speaker at the Georgia GOP convention.
Steele, who's in charge of boosting the Republican Party's image nationally after election losses in 2008, will address about 2,000 Georgia delegates Saturday at the state convention in Savannah.
The party chief has suffered some recent missteps, such as critizing conservative talk host Rush Limbaugh and telling a magazine writer that abortion is "an individual choice."
But Steele seemed to speak more in tune with core conservatives Friday when he told the National Rifle Association's convention in Phoenix that Democrats want to take away American's gun rights in order to suppress drug crime in Mexico.
