Michael Steele (Hillel Aron)

Saul Anuzis, the former chairman of Michigan's Republican Party, said Friday that he wants to replace the former lawyer, Maryland lieutenant governor and Fox News commentator as face of the Republican Party.

Anuzis, who started and runs a VoIP provider in Michigan, ran against but eventually supported Steele's bid for office in 2009. He now thinks the stakes merit a stronger leader. Four others are also believed to be mulling a run. Steele has not yet officially announced his candidacy for another term.

Republicans also face a decision about leadership in the House of Representatives, where most of the top spots are set in stone, except for a new position created this week for one freshman representative.

The leader would represent 84 freshman members. Though the main two candidates appear to be Tea Party members, a more moderate Republican could throw a hat into the ring before Wednesday's election.

House Democrats are engaged in their own battle about whether or not Nancy Pelosi should stay on as House Minority Leader and who should be her lieutenant.
