Nothing against Gary Glenn, but this is an apples/oranges thing.

1. Stabenow's the incumbent, not a liberal republican like Lugar.

2. The candidates running here range from center-right to right. I understand uniting behind one conservative, but if that is the plan, you better have one acceptable to all factions, and you better have a frontrunner totally unacceptable to all except a big money centrist establishment. We don't have a Joe Schwarz, Bill Milliken, Rick Snyder, or even Fred Upton or Vern Ehlers running here. A coronation attempt here is liable to backfire in spades.

3. You have a much stronger democrat running here. Debbie Stabenow, a two term incumbent rubber stamp for Reid. I'm not going to go in and toss bombs against Hoekstra, Durant, Glenn, Konetchy, Boman, Marino, Hekman, and anyone else I missed when one will be the nominee against the dangerously incompetent one. Especially when all of them are much better than Stabenow and none of them are tweedle dee/tweedle dum like a Lugar/Donnelly situation.

4. What is the difference between a "some" tea party (not all, I know many backing others) coronation for Glenn and an establishment coronation for Hoekstra? When you're marketing something as stopping Stabenow, then stop Stabenow. Make your case why you're the best, and I'll make my decision in August. If you like Glenn, vote Glenn. If you like Hoekstra, vote Hoekstra. If you like Konetchy, vote Konetchy. If you like Durant, vote Durant. If you like someone else, vote for that person. If you like Stabenow, don't vote.
