| Just the other day Jack Lessenberry suggested that voters in the 11th Congressional District remember Mike Kowall as the guy who, when Monty Burns was thrown in jail for contempt, that they also toss in the clink the head of MDOT and some random, unnamed official from the city of Detroit. Then, this. State Sen. Mike Kowall, R-White Lake, decided today to suspend his campaign for the 11th Congressional district seat. The decision will avoid a primary fight with incumbent U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter, R-Livonia, who abandoned a run for president and decided to seek reelection to his seat.
Are the two things connected? Is it irresponsible to speculate? It would be irresponsible not to. By the way, just for the sake of clarity here ... Thad McCotter abandoned his run for president in the same way that I abandoned a run last week after putting my shoes on and looking outside to see freezing rain falling from the clouds. That is, he was the only person who rain who never enjoyed a moment at the top, except from the state's punditocracy, who wondered for a brief time whether he actually had a shot. |
