| Description | Michigan Republican L. Brooks Patterson -- a well-known suburban Detroit officeholder considered a top-tier 2010 contender for governor -- has announced that he is forgoing that race.
Patterson's decision came less than a month after he topped an Inside Michigan Politics poll on the potentially large field of Republican candidates to succeed two-term Democrat Jennifer M. Granholm, who cannot run again in 2010 under the state's term-limit law.
The survey, conducted March 4 through 10, showed Patterson with support of 22 percent of respondents. His departure could be a particular boon to state Attorney General Mike Cox, a likely Republican contender who draws his base from the same Detroit suburbs. |
