That's too bad as she would've been one of the strong candidates.

While Snyder's approvals are low, he'll probably turn it around, and I think she senses that.

I'm no so sure. Snyder has never been particularily popular, and a good Dem candidate could beat him

We'll have to wait and see on who and how many of the other names bow out, but part me wonders if maybe a path for Gary Peters is being cleared.

Snyder can of course merely compare himself to his predecessor, who of course presided over a job apocalypse.

Yeah, but I honestly don't think he's running again.  He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would just meke power grabs like that.  Plus, he would lose, probably in a landslide or near-landslide.  I think he's going to step aside, and Bill Schuette will run in his place.

That's too bad, it would've been nice to have a hot Governor.

Whitmer would be a decent candidate and would most likely beat Snyder especially after the Right to work legislation. I think that is what will stop Snyder from making a comeback and winning reelection. Before RTW I thought Snyder could comeback and was maybe 50/50 on winning reelection.
