"I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it" - Rodney Dangerfield Here we go again in Michigan.
Ronna Romney McDaniel, granddaughter of former Michigan Gov. George Romney, said she's "looking at" a Republican run for Senate after Democrat Carl Levin announced he's not going to seek re-election. She was an active campaigner for her uncle Mitt Romney last year. What's happening in DC? Career hack politicos getting by, or surviving on last name recognition, and a disinterested electorate because we know both sides of the Ruling Class are lying to us.
Her father, Scott Romney, Mitt's older brother, told The News that after initially considering a run he has decided against a bid for the seat held for more than three decades by Levin, D-Detroit. Wait for it... {yawn}
Is this the 52-48 ShowStak Brand rearing its ugly head? Maybe the CD-11 Star Chamber making their move, again? Frankly, I could care less about either - MiGOP record of Romney failure: Lenore (1970), Ronna née Rakolta (94 & 96), G. Scott (AG '98), and Willard (08 & 12). Some folks just can't seem to take a hint. Sure, Ronna Between the Bush dynasty, and Romney wannabes, the Team R interlopers are beginning to make the Kennedy clan look like pikers among the last name entitlement leeches. Good luck with that.

As in, oldtimer magic underpants.
The older brother of presidential candidate Mitt Romney is interested in running for the Michigan Senate seat being vacated by Carl Levin in 2014. Just like that damn Bush dynasty with Jeb now flitting about, these clowns living on last name entitlement just can't take a hint. Romney = Still trying in Michigan ever since daddy George created the State Income Tax
Um, no. No to everything seen the above. (4 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
It has to be Michigan...
Schostak, and Anuzis, must've done the "gazintas" for the vote count. Then again, could it have been the creepy looking bur head thing in coke bottle glasses that did the count? Oh! Ya... act like a man, and wear a tie ya slovenly attired liberal Ann Arbor, weenie. (5 comments) Comments >> By Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
So, is it a 274 delegate margin, a 233 delegate margin, a 173 delegate margin, or a 116 delegate margin currently separating Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum? How deeply is Newt Gingrich locked into third place? And if Ron Paul's been mathematically eliminated from a statistically certain pre-convention majority, then why is he still campaigning? We know the answer to the third question (at least we think we do), but those first two aren't mere academic questions, and answering them might help in understanding why Anuzis and his Backroom Band are sticking to the meme that Romney is supposed to get both of Michigan's at-large delegates to this summer's national convention . . . in spite of all the verifiable evidence otherwise.
And while we're at it, we're going to connect a few dots and see what we see.

Last week, the Michigan "Dele-Gate" Fiasco was a big deal. A whole bunch of media outlets, both in-state and nationally, had something to say about it. Tony Roza over at The Green Papers is also keeping track of this mess, though for now he has the official delegate count consistent with last week's backroom banditry. But funny things tend to happen over the weekend with media stories. If there isn't someone actually pushing the narrative, then the story tends to die off. And when someone who's actively involved in burying the truth is controlling the narrative . . . well, that's probably cause for concern.

I grew up in rural northeast Michigan (Iosco County to be precise). I can tell you as a certainty gained from hard experience that I know manure when I smell it. So when I say that the stench arising from the sequence of high-profile republican primary screwups smells like a bathtub-sized crock of elephant exhaust . . . well, I've got a usable reference point.

Yesterday, I wrote that Mitt Romney's campaign leadership in Michigan was doing their damnedest to spin Michigan's Presidential Primary results into a win for "Michigan's Native Son." If they could successfully do so, then it would preserve their desired narrative that the favorite son of a popular governor had defeated an insurrection in his own backyard, and would now heroically go forward and accomplish that which his father was unable to do a generation ago.
However, facts are stubborn things. As the day wore on, the truth started to make its way to the beltway media that the real result of the Michigan Primary is an exact split of the delegation (which, according to Tony Roza over at The Green Papers, would have been the result even if we hadn't been penalized). Since such an outcome might have derailed the Romney coronation train, something had to be done. At the eleventh hour, something was done.
