...there has been a series of developments worth noting in the race to become the next chairman of the Republican National Committee.

>> The Fix: RNC field sorts itself out

DetNews reported Michigan's Saul Anuzis has gained 10 endorsements...

It's also probably no coincidence that Anuzis's endorsements so far are dominated by RNC members from the Northeast and Midwest.

North vs South in the battle for RNC chair? Oh yeah.

Go Saul! Win one for the North!! Matt Moon at The Next Right website also pointed out this:

[Saul] said that his background growing up in blue-collar suburbia among Reagan Democrats and Independents makes him especially qualified to be the next chairman because those are the voters that the we need to go after.

Like Pawlenty said at the RGA meeting in Miami last month:

“We cannot be a majority governing party when we essentially cannot compete in the Northeast, we are losing our ability to compete in Great Lakes states, we cannot compete on the West Coast, we are increasingly in danger of competing in the mid-Atlantic states, and the Democrats are now winning some of the western states. That is not a formula for being a majority governing party in this nation.” (JB)
