The anonymous Michigan man behind the popular Twitter account @LOLGOP said on the Politics Powered By Twitter radio show Tuesday that he would run for his state’s open Senate seat in 2014 “if @RepJustinAmash enters the Michigan Senate primary.”

The interview comes a day after the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling tested the Twitter handle, which often disparages Republicans, in a hypothetical match-up against Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI). The results: @LOLGOP would beat Amash 23 percent to 22 percent.
