Saul Anuzis
MI: Republican National Committeeman
CPAC Fires Up Conservatives!
As always, a great conference as thousands of conservative activists from around the country showed up for “renewal”!
Presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum fired up the troops.
Senator Mike Lee, stalwart conservative and Tea Party favorite addressed the conference and then announced he was endorsing Michigan’s Clark Durant for U.S. Senate! He and his fellow conservatives Jim DeMint, Rand Paul and a few others need a strong ally…and Clark Durant is that man!
Murphy: Durant would be stronger in the general“I just saw the idiotic ad…A Detroit area Republican would do better than a western Michigan Republican. Western Michigan will be there for any Republican. Clark’s got a Detroit story, is well-known in conservative circles and could cut into Debbie’s eastern Michigan base…I just think you’ve got a lot of Hoekstra staff trying to explain to their candidate why they just blew his hand off.”
Will Pete Hoekstra’s Super Bowl ad cost him more than money?“From a strategy standpoint, it wasn’t a very smart move,” said Anuzis, who supports Clark Durant in the race to unseat Stabenow. “It’s kind of leading with your chin because now this is the issue he raised and he’s highlighted some of his vulnerabilities.”

Powerful GOP-Linked Super PAC Has Clear Agenda
“They have the credibility. People trust them,” says Saul Anuzis, a longtime Republican National Committee member from Michigan. “They know that none of them are strident or ideologues in that regard. They’re party people.”
As the two parties and their outside allies brace for the general election, Anuzis breaks down the financial battle this way: “A third of all the money spent on federal elections will come from candidates; a third will come from the parties and a third will come from these independent groups and superPACs.”

Romney Can Be the Next Reagan
Romney is something we haven’t seen for a while in America– a benevolent family man. He’s the well-meaning father who knows how to do the right thing even if he can’t always express himself. Liberals are beginning to notice this and feel uneasy.
