"A resolution opposing the National Popular Vote initiative won support of every voting RNC member but one who voted "present" instead of "yes.""

And also from the same article:

"Michigan RNC member Saul Anuzis, the leader of the small group on the national commnittee supporting the popular vote change, told The Washington Times that he and five others on the national committee had "expressed that support and at least 20 were open and undecided, but not willing to take any hits for something they didn't care that much about.""

Two REALLY huge problems here.

First off, what gives with republicans unwilling to go on record actually opposing something?

The recent state caucus fiasco was bad enough (12 minutes?!?), but c'mon! How difficult is it really to vote "NO"?

Voting "present" is something I would ascribe to a spineless coward like Pres. B.O.

Second, why in the hell is Saul Anuzis supporting ditching the electoral college and going to a straight popular vote?
