Interesting Detroit News piece here on Saul Anuzis, the Republican Party Chairman in Michigan who is standing firm on, well, Republican values. He’s aggressively urging legislative Republicans up north to not give in to Democrats’ calls for new taxes.

Saul is angering some GOP legislators who want to bargain away the principles for which the people elected them in exchange for the accolades of the editorial boards and the chattering classes who love to spend other people’s money on their own wants and wishes.

My bet is that if Anuzis succeeds in his efforts, Michigan will beat Ohio — in being the first state to get a Republican governor, that is.

The selection of State Representative Kevin DeWine as the future chair of the Ohio Republican Party brings intelligence, new vigor and strong skills in political tactics to the position.

Let’s hope that, like Anuzis, DeWine also brings to the job the recognition of the principles of limited government, economic freedom and personal responsibility as the bonds that create Republican majorities.
