Michigander Saul Anuzis, who ran for the post two years ago, is hoping to unseat Steele, as Hotline on Call reports:
Some of the eight new RNC members publicly supporting Anuzis had backed Steele on the final ballots in 2009. They include Rhode Island GOP chairman Gio Cicione, Colorado Republican Party chairman Dick Wadhams and Delaware state GOP chair Tom Ross. Ross's defection will be the most painful for Steele, for whom Ross served as a regional whip during the votes.Technorati tags: politics Congress Michigan republicans elections news michigan politics RNC Michael Steele
Anuzis will also unveil support from West Virginia GOP chair Mike Stuart, Nebraska party chief Mark Fahleson and national committee members Linda Ackerman of California, Dana Randall of South Dakota and Heidi Smith of Nevada. With his own vote and support from Virginia national committee member Morton Blackwell, Anuzis now has 10 votes for chairman.
