DescriptionThe Republican Party's quest for a top-tier candidate in the 2006 governor's race took another ominous turn Thursday when its latest "best hope" bowed out, leaving party leaders wondering why they can't find a viable candidate to run against Gov. Janet Napolitano.

Mary Peters' surprise exodus leaves the GOP without any established names to challenge Napolitano as 2006 draws near.
