When it's over, will Levin even know your name?

State representative Jack Hoogendyk has announced his intention to challenge United States senator Carl Levin. Talk about your Don Quixote taking on a Windmill. I don't think anyone including Jack thinks he has a snowball's chance in hell of beating Carl, but that's not what this is about. He does have a good chance of winning the Republican nomination and the right to challenge Senator Levin since rep. Andrew Raczkowski withdrew, and along with the Republican nomination comes a lot of publicity and contacts within the party for what Jack really wants, state senator George's seat. Tom George is term limited in two years and thats the seat Jack really thinks he has a shot at. The publicity also won't hurt when he runs his wife this fall for the seat he is losing to term limits.
