U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers and 8th Congressional candidate Mike Bishop hold their first press conference in Lansing today. Listen to: Bishop defend his allowance of a 2007 tax vote to happen as Senate Majority Leader (12:55), where Bishop stands on Obamacare (21:20), if Rogers believes Bishop's primary opponent would be an "embarrassment" in Congress (24:13), Rogers' view on isolationism in relation to foreign policy (24:55), Rogers say "the world is just about on fire" (29:09), Bishop on Medicaid expansion and the "pension tax" (31:08), Rogers on running for president (33:54), Bishop say he's not convinced McMillin is a conservative (35:50) and Rogers say he's disturbed by politicians who are "all about me" (37:19).

Also, are the Democrats and U.S. Rep. Gary Peters making a smart tactical decision by staying on women's issues in the U.S. Senate race against Terri Lynn Land?
