GOP Senate Hopeful Flubs Election Date

Aspiring senator Terri Lynn Land may want to see about locking down a new scheduler, lest she find herself staring out into an empty hotel ballroom later this fall.

An HOH tipster passed along a campaign email Land blasted out to supporters Tuesday night in which the former Michigan secretary of state enthusiastically proclaimed that she’d like to sew up her race lickety-split.

“People know we can win the US Senate race in Michigan this year,” Land assured her followers.

That’d be one helluva of political coup — considering retiring Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., isn’t stepping down until January 2015.

Perhaps Land could use a bit of a refresher?

Team Land did not respond to an email request seeking clarification about the very off-year grandstanding.
