Wadhams supporting soulmate Anuzis

(We’re obligated to note that Wadhams has repeatedly expressed support for RNC Chair Michael Steele–here, here, and here, just as a few examples. Style similarities with Anuzis aside, for Wadhams to ditch Steele is quite significant – promoted by Colorado Pols)

In the RNC chairman elections, Colo GOP head Dick Wadhams doesn’t like incumbent Michael Steele. Instead he’s going with Saul Anuzis, which is kind of funny, given Anuzis’ record heading the Michigan GOP, a record that will sound familiar to Wadhams watchers in Colorado.

In the race to elect the next Republican National Committee Chairman, Colorado GOP leader Dick Wadhams has reportedly thrown his support behind Saul Anuzis, who was state party chairman in Michigan from 2005 to 2009. Gimlet-eyed observers might call the endorsement sympathetic: Anuzis struggled with losses similar to those presided over by Wadhams in the last three years. Under Anuzis’ leadership, Michigan Republicans lost two Congressional seats and their majority in the state House.  

That’s the funny part. Then there’s the sad part.

Anuzis leadership in Michigan was made additionally controversial because he endorsed race-baiting politics.

At least Dick’s consistent: he never vets anybody.
