With the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee apparently targeting the 11th district U.S. House seat currently held by Rep. Thad McCotter for a serious challenge, who will emerge to be his opponent in 2010? Michigan Liberal has a couple of interesting tidbits on the subject recently.
 
First, they point to a Facebook group that has started up to draft State Sen. Glenn Anderson to run against McCotter. Anderson spent 6 years in the Michigan House of Representatives and is now a state Senator from Livonia.

Second, they cite a MIRS report that says that Michigan House Speaker Andy Dillon was asked to run against McCotter but declined. There are persistent rumors that Dillon will run for governor in 2010 instead.

McCotter only won reelection in 2008 with 51% of the vote and that was against an underfunded opponent with no support from the DCCC. Democrats definitely think this seat could be won in 2010 if a viable candidate emerges.
