Is Matt DePerno the next likely chair of the Michigan Republican Party? Bill Ballenger of the Ballenger report believes so, but candidate Drew Born does not. Hear Born talk about how he would "bring the passion of the base and the pocket of the donors."

Chris Savage, former chair of the Washtenaw County Democratic Party, said he expects a competitive U.S. Senate primary on the Democratic side.

The MIRS team and Ballenger also talk about potential Democratic committee burnout and Republicans' threat to gum up the works over Right To Work.
