Whoa.

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, whose party just lost both chambers of Congress, will leave his position in January, and the post as party chief has been offered to Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele.

That would be the man whose last, best hope in his own election was to try to masquerade as a Democrat. Which is actually one of his less sleazy actions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Abrade is the verb for abrasion, right? I see that abrase is also a verb, but it looks awkward and makes me think it's a backformation.

I'm trying to think of other verbs that make that "d" to "s" shift, and I'm blanking--can any of you guys think of some?

Because books.

I'm coming up with "t" words -- convert to conversion, for instance -- but blanking on "d" words, as well.

Yes. At least, I've seen that usage before.

HAhahahah! That's hilarious. Well, guess he decided the "Democrats for Steele" campaign just didn't work all that well.

It actually makes sense that the RNC would want to pick him up. He's pretty charismatic and I think would have a good political future if he weren't running in Maryland.
