risky strategy for little gain.
elizabeth macdonald, good to
see you.
>> reporter: sure, delighted.
martha: we've been telling you
this morning that there will be
a challenger toll michael
steele, the head of the rnc, and
it is michigan republican saul
anuzis.
chris wallace, good morning to
you.
>> reporter: morning, martha.
martha: what's your reaction?
>> reporter: i'm not
surprised.
dissatisfaction within the
republican party at the
performance of michael steele,
there was a feeling that he
wasn't running a tight ship at
the rnc and that he had turned
off a lot of big donors.
one of the reasons you saw karl
rove and ed gillespie step in
and help form this american
cross roads organization is a
lot of big donors weren't
confident that if they gave
money to the rnc, it was going
to be spent prop properly.
some of the state chairmen are
concerned if michael steele has
another two years in the office
that these outside groups might
become a kind of way around
