After unsuccessfully lobbying Sarah Palin to run for chair of the Republican National Committee, the Tea Party Nation has endorsed Saul Anuzis for the job, Talking Points Memo reports.
[Tea Party Nation chief Judson Phillips Phillips] said he expected Palin to say no to his idea, but “I was surprised at how quickly that ‘no’ came.” Still, he writes, Palin’s rejection doesn’t mean the tea party can’t have a candidate in the race for RNC chair.
“Fortunately for us, there is a conservative alternative,” Phillips writes. “Saul Anuzis.”
According to Phillps, Anuzis offers tea partiers the same protections against mainstream Republicans that Palin did. Anuzis is a “supporter of the Tea Party in Michigan,” Phillips writes.
“We need a conservative in as Chair of the RNC. If not, we will end up with the same class of GOP knuckleheads that blew it so badly in 2006 and 2008,” Phillips writes. “If we do not win this battle for the heart and soul of the GOP, we will end up with either a second Obama term or perhaps as bad, a [Mitt] Romney presidency.”
Anuzis has stated that his experience in using new media will benefit the RNC.
He received the endorsement from the state’s Republican Congressional delegation last week despite criticism over his defense of a white nationalist extremist and use of race-baiting campaign tactics.
