    Justin Amash . . . (none / 0) (#5)
    by Kevin Rex Heine on Fri Oct 07, 2011 at 07:50:18 AM EST
    . . . was actually prepared to primary a well-entrenched incumbent.  I have no dislike or disrespect for Vern Ehlers, but his membership in this group puts a red flag up in my head (and it's the reason that I really wish someone would put up primary challenges to Camp, Upton, and McCotter).  And by challenging a sitting incumbent, Amash drew all kinds of fire from the establishment types here in River City, but Ehlers saw the writing on the wall (because he knew that the tea party was going to leverage his ouster) and retired the next day.

    Amash's conservative pro-Constitution cred was established by vetting with this other group, and it's what drove his election (and, incidentally, what leveraged Walberg's election as well).  If you really want to primary Miller, then they'd be a good group to talk with; and the earlier the better.
