Crash blossoms like an arrow
Bad things happen when you make up your own meanings just to fit the hed count. "Rerun" is a perfectly good verb, but it's transitive, so my coffee-deprived parser's first reaction here is to make "rerun" a noun. If you know who Mr. Anuzis is or had the instinctive good fortune to figure out that he's some sort of Republican leader, rather than a planet or an Egyptian deity, you could be forgiven for thinking the hed is a creatively dismissive slap at the GOP's lesser lights. Who's going to lead the party? Just a bunch of Anuzis reruns.
Reality, as usual, is duller:
Former Michigan Republican Party chairman Saul Anuzis is running for a second time to be chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Remember, kids: Rotate your tires, brush after between-meal treats, and don't make up your own verbs.

I guessed he was some earlier version of the Tea Party. But he should have been prominent, and he wasn't.
Unless there's some good reason, I'd dump "reruns" altogether. Does it really matter that he's tried previously? Probably not or very little, unless he's a serial candidate.
