He’s already ruled out the prospect of running for governor once, but could Bart Stupak end up throwing his hat back into the ring and running for the Democratic nomination for governor? Tim Skubick seems to think it’s possible and there are few people who know state politics as well as Skoops. And he thinks the Democrats wouldn’t be too disappointed to see him run:
If it has not happened yet, it most certainly will. Some Democrat will ask Stupak to at least consider getting into the field which many Democrats feel is about as lackluster as can be. To put it gently, the Angriest Mayor in America, the GOP-leaning Democratic House Speaker and the competent, yet grossly under funded Representative from Ann Arbor are not doing too well against the GOP field and Stupak might do better.
That’s certainly true. Skubick admits that Stupak “would have to do a 180 by May 11th to get in the race and that, at this read, seems pretty far-fetched.” But stranger things happened, haven’t they?
