Scott Romney, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s brother, is looking at running for retiring Democratic Sen. Carl Levin’s seat, according to a Michigan GOP source with first-hand knowledge of his interest.
The Republican is a Harvard-educated corporate attorney at the Detroit-based law firm Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn, LLP. He was not immediately available for comment.
On the Democratic side, Rep. Gary Peters told The Detroit Free Press editorial board that he is “going to seriously consider” running. Peters, who ended 2012 with nearly $500,000 in cash on hand, is considered the Democrats’ top recruit.
It has been a topsy-turvy day in Michigan politics, as candidates have floated their names in and out of contention. Levin announced Thursday that he would not seek a seventh term next year.
Democrats begin the open-seat race with a decided advantage. But serious structural problems plague the Michigan Democratic Party. This race, along with the 2014 gubernatorial campaign, will test newly-elected Chairman Lon Johnson.
stay out of da Romney’s
Here is the best endorsement I can find for Justin:
McCain referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as wackos.
They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else, McCain said. But I also think that when, you know, its always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.
Asked to clarify, McCain said he was referencing Rand Paul, Cruz, Amash, whoever.
I could definitely live with Amash.
McCain was wrong... about the first two.
Two sisters and a brother.
Ronna Romney (Scott’s wife) challenged and lost to Carl Levin.

Lynn Keenan, Jane Romney, G. Scott Romney, W. Mitt Romney

Just what the country needs, another loser.
LOL!
Do you believe everything the media tells you?
Trivia question:
When was the last time you ever heard the media refer to John McCain as "the Maverick"?
Answer:.. Not once since November 4, 2008..........
And the feeding frenzy continues.......
Republicans eating their own.......LOL!
That was reported by Breitbart, so I did think it was under consideration. Doesn’t seem beyond the realms of possibility.
That was funny dude.
Funny!
lolz
We need conservatives, anyone willing to swear by “less government is better”.
No. Just. No.
I only had him as a congressman for two years pre 2002 redistricting since I didn't vote at MSU, but he's a good guy from everyone I talked to that knows him.
Why the frick is this guy even being considered?
