Merz Chatter

 On a number of news sites....the topic of CDU political player Friedrich Merz running as a candidate to the Bundestag....in the fall national election....has come up.

He's selected his home district, where a fairly well known CDU member is already announced to be running....Patrick Sensburg.  

If you don't remember Merz?  He had been a top ten guy back around 15 years ago within the CDU, and basically got pushed to a rear-level by Merkel.  In the last year, he's come back, and attempted to run as the CDU Party chief, and lost on that race two months ago.  

This attempt as a representative?  I think he's challenging the local folks, and if they go back to Sensburg as the candidate, he'll leave the CDU Party permanently.
