Roger Kahn's possible Senate candidacy: Sacrifical lamb, or just evidence of a thin bench?

I would support that

to see all of Kahn's dirty laundry dragged out for public viewing until he slinks back into obscurity.

I have no desire to see Roger Kahn's laundry, clean or dirty

Especially the knickers.

Amash

Sorry for my long absence from ML-work down in the Lone Star State is keeping me busy.

If Raging Roger decides to run, he's certainly be facing a battle against Justin Amash. I'm not saying that Amash in going to win reelection in 2012. However, if he does, he certainly is going to run for Senate in 2014. I think you could see another interesting primary battle between different conservative factions of the GOP, but I'd put my money on Amash winning against Kahn. We'll see who else runs.

The problem for us is if Levin retires. Our bench is somewhat deeper, and I'd really make a push for Whitmer to run (if she isn't running for Gov or AG already), although that would get in the way of my dream 2014 ticket of Schuaer for Gov, Jimmy Womack for Lt. Gov, Benson for SOS, and Whitmer for AG. Perhaps Kildee (although he would have been in Congress for just one term) could also run for the Senate seat.

Whitmer...

I think she has aspirations beyond AG next time around.  Personally, I'd like to see her in D.C.
