It's hard to imagine, but U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee will, assuming he wins re-election, enter Congress next year as the member with the most seniority among Michigan Democrats with six years in office at that point. What are his views on a leadership change within the caucus and whether Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi should turn the reins over to someone else? Kildee answers this, his prognosis on Soo Locks funding and much more.

Also, who won the debate on Mackinac Island? MIRS' Jack Spencer and Jacob Kanclarz provide their views. Jim Hines is opening his wallet a little wider. Republicans are looking at holding U.S. Senate primary debates and a discussion on how far Bill Schuette is up in the Republican gubernatorial field.
