Michael Steele

Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele drew his first official challenger this morning when former Michigan GOP chairman and current Michigan committeeman Saul Anuzis declared his intentions on Twitter. "I’m in. I’m running for Chairman of the RNC," tweeted Anuzis, who posted a link to a letter to all RNC members.

What better way for an RNC chairman to spend time right before an election than plotting his own reelection?

On ABC's This Week yesterday, Senator John McCain questioned Michael Steele's ability to lead to the RNC following Steele's remarks that Afghanistan is is "a war of Obama’s choosing" and that "the one thing you don’t do, is engage in a land war in Afghanistan":

“I think those statements are wildly inaccurate and there is no excuse for them,” McCain told host Jake Tapper from Kabul, Afghanistan.
