Let me point out that a mere five days ago I'd pointed out that a convention rules change approved by the MIGOP Policy Committee subtly sent a signal that Brian Calley is somewhat vulnerable to getting his keister kicked off of the republican ticket at next year's Michigan Republican State Convention. This would square with what a couple of C.I.s inside the Republican Legislative Caucus are telling me, but at this point I don't have anything that I can corroborate on the record.
Nevertheless, I was kinda hoping that it'd be more than 48 hours before someone went shooting their mouth off to the press. (62 days or so sounded like a really good number.) Apparently, I shouldn't underestimate some people's ability to attract reporters.
