Thaddeus McCotter is In

Congressman Thaddeus McCotter has declared a run for the presidency. Some of you are saying: Who?

I had the pleasure of meeting McCotter/hearing him speak at last year's Young Republican Leadership Conference and had previously blogged about his background and experience.

Making the jump from the House to the Presidency is a rather large one (the same challenge Michele Bachmann faces) and history is not on his side, but once people pick up upon McCotter's intelligence and dry wit, name recognition may not be a problem. His candidacy will be closely watched!
