I can't stand him. I, too, hope someone more conservative runs. I didn't vote for him last time he stood for election.
He'd just be another RINO along with Collins, et al.
That's why I'm hoping either Mike Rogers, Candice Miller, or Pete Hoekstra goes for it. Mike's got my vote if he runs largely since I know him best, and it's a hometown thing.
I'd back Smith over Stab, but that's like backing the Chicago Blackhawks or Dallas Stars over the Colorado Avalanche.
