A fledgling politician, 27-year-old Michigan Representative Paul Scott (R-Grand Blanc) has a precocious grasp of social conservatism's #1 rule.

All is fair in the war. Politics is war.

Entering his sophomore year as a Michigan congressman, Scott, a rising star within the state Republican Party has grown up fast by GOP standards. He'll be seeking its nomination for Secretary of State, largely on the merit of a statewide, public smoking ban he helped legislate.

Ironically, Scott resorts to a smoke screen to launch his nomination bid. And where there's smoke there's fire.
