The Democrats are going to be going all-in at the state level especially the governor's race. They also have a terrible bench. #StandwithRand happened at a perfect time for Amash to launch a bid for liberty.

Karl Frisch @KarlFrisch
Sen. Levin (D-MI) is retiring. Let's Draft @JenGranholm! #DraftGranholm2014
After reading this, I want Amash. He could beat Granholm, she was the worst governor.

Since he got purged from the major committees and would probably get the endorsement of Rand, Lee, Cruz and DeMint if he ran, I'd say he should throw his hat in and see how it goes. Maybe he can pull a Ron Johnson and win. Even if he loses his seat in 2020, it'll still be well worth having Senator Amash for 6 years.

He was actually the 2nd best polling Republican in the poll, even doing better than Mike Rogers.
The Senate Conservatives Fund has already come out saying they would love Amash to run, as well.

Never heard of her. So I am researching and its juicy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candice_Miller
Voted for CISPA
"On 26 April 2012, Miller voted for the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. It passed the House of Representatives, but did not become law."
Praises Obama
Miller sat on the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming and has praised President Obama for his stance on off-shore oil exploration. She supports selling oil and gas leases to help fund the research and development of alternative energy projects.
And the biggest of them all
Admonishment by House Ethics Committee
She should be very easily primaried by Amash if it came down to that.

The GOP has won the MI senate seat 3 times in like 60 attempts
And some of you want Amash to give up his House seat for trying to win it?
Jesus christ.

The chance is minimal . The GOP have a dire record in the last 60 years at winning an MI senate seat. They've won it maybe 3 times

No he should not give up his House seat for this, under any circumstances

Yes its worth it. Here are several factors; Its a non-presidential cycle meaning much more available funds and volunteers, NO Incumbent means wide open race, Amash would have national liberty movement backing, Michigan elected a Republican Governor this last time around, They already have stripped his House seat of any Key committees or positions making it mostly worthless.
Not only do I think its worth risking his seat to run..... I believe the Senate seat is his to take.
(btw I live in Michigan now so I DO know what it would mean to us living here)

If Amash wants to run I am all for it. If Amash does not want to run, let's not push him.
Amash could win with Rand, Lee, Cruz, and other pacs helping him in his campaign if he does decided to run.

What good is his House seat? They don't even let him on committees.

I do. The primary could turn out as tough or tougher than the general. If Amash runs, the GOP will pull all the stops. They'll get someone of Engler's caliber to run against him, and their candidate, whoever it is, will get more money.

This seat hasn't been open for 50 years, if not more, wikipedia doesn't go back that far. The only open seat in the last 30 years has been Abraham (R) winning in 1994.
