Republicans really shouldn't underestimate Fieger if he wins the nomination. I think this race a Tossup either way, though.

It would be horrifying (yet somehow fitting) if Fieger became Governor and Kid Rock became Senator.

Why exactly is Fieger perceived to be so bad? I know he lost in a landslide in 1998, but what was the reason for that? How did he do so bad? I honestly know very little about him and I can't seem to find any reason.

Geoffrey Fieger was Jack Kevorkian's attorney, he said a lot of very inflammatory things you can google, among which include saying that rabbis are "closer to the nazis than they think". Being inflammatory is much less of a liability than it used to be, with that said, Fieger would still be a major net liability because the kind of voters that care about inflammatory statements are the kind of voters Democrats are now trying to win over - middle class suburbanites.
