If you'll recall, back when this story first broke, I expressed my extreme doubts about Kid Rock running for Senate. He'd be challenging Michigan's Debbie Stabenow and, even though I suspect he could possibly win that race, the whole thing seemed implausible to an extraordinary degree. Starting with the fact that his "campaign" merch was being sold on Warner Brothers' website and ending with the fact that he still hasn't had an FEC filing, it all felt like nothing more than shameless self-promotion.
