What we learned from the Post about Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele and his campaign for the Senate:

* He has "an extraordinary handshake" that's "not too weak but not crushing, either."

* The eye contact! It makes people swoon!

* Of course you want him to kiss you, and by god, he'll do it -- and do it well.

* Need some hugs? Whether one-handed or double-barreled, Steele is a hugging machine. Those hands, that muscular chest ....

OK, now we will go take a shower.
