I just talked to Saul Anuzis, the Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. He made headlines last year after removing Ryan Cassin as State CR Chair because of his support for Paul Gourley. I talked to him for a few minutes regarding some of the various primaries going on in his state - and he said that while he is supporting incumbents (such as Joe Schwarz), that he unequivocally supports open primaries and has not and will not use his influence as state party chairman to prevent them from occurring.

That takes guts. If all state party chairs were like this, then our mission of Saving the GOP would be a lot easier.
