As national Democrats coalesce behind Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum in the wide-open race to succeed Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero is not ruling out a run.

Its a very simple fact that I am looking at it, Bernero said in a Tuesday morning phone interview. I am considering it. I dont need to run for Congress but if its a viable possibility then I would consider it.

Rogers announced his retirement last week, giving Democrats a much-needed pick-up opportunity in the Wolverine State. But his departure has left both parties scrambling for top candidates ahead of the April 22 filing deadline.

For Democrats, Byrum and Bernero are the top two candidate prospects. But at least one national Democratic group is posturing to back Byrum. She has been in communication with EMILYs List, a group thathelps Democratic women candidates who support abortion rights.

Meanwhile, Bernero said hes waiting for a survey, including a poll from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, to gauge his candidacy.

Id like to see some polling and Im working on that and I understand the DCCC is working on it.

He added that a divisive primary, scheduled for Aug. 5, would not be helpful to his party.

If Im the stronger candidate, then I should run. I have to make sure its the right thing for me, he added. And if Barb is the stronger candidate than she should run.

Two Democrats Interested in Mike Rogers' Seat in Michigan

From Crimea to Clearwater, Florida, the message is clear: every setback to U.S. or Democratic Party interests is Barack Obama's fault. I've been very disappointed in Barack Obama's presidency, but the relentless attacks on him from all sides are disconnected from reality.

What Graham himself called a "terrific outcome" six months ago is now weakness on the part of the president that invited Putin to invade the Ukraine.

Springtime is coming, baseball teams have reassembled for training, Robert Redford is back on cable playing Roy Hobbs in The Natural and Bill Clinton has begun his ride to rescue Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections.

This past week 11 Libyan physicians, including diabetes specialists, ophthalmologists and pharmacists, participated in an intensive three-day certificate program in 'Retinopathy Screening for Primary Care,' in Istanbul, Turkey.

Considering how Bill O'Reilly merely pandered to the delusional obsessions of his viewers rather than using his time to ask questions of actual substance, I thought I'd suggest some additional questions O'Reilly could've asked the president -- I mean, as long as he's asking stupid questions anyway.
