Even More Senate Fun

Allegations that inexperienced unknown Mickey Kaus (rumored to be some sort of centrist union-hating blogger) will run (apparently in the Democratic primary) against incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer are best summed up by this:

Absent a political base of any sort in California, I'll assume this is about something other than, you know, becoming a Senator. Fostering debate on the great issues? Weakening Boxer for the Republicans in November? Blog traffic? Unknown, but it could be interesting for awhile.

Depending, of course on the definition of "awhile." Also revealed is that Mr. Kaus has not posted since 24 February. Not that we'd noticed. Maybe more good will come of this.

LATER: Reaction.
