“Survivor” played out in the Senate?

Now that would be a show to watch. However, in this case, it’s just software publisher Michael Skupin, the poor “Survivor” contestant who had to be flown out of the Australian Outback when he badly burnt his hands, who may run for the U.S. Senate. “I’m giving it a lot of thought,” Skupin, 39, said Thursday at the annual Governor’s Gala in Livonia, Michigan, where he and President Bush’s chief of staff, Andrew Card, were guests of honor, according to AP. “If I could do it and really make a difference, I would do it.” He and his wife, Peni, are Republicans but have never been active in politics.
