Valde's got to declare he's in first. If he's in, he'll give it his all, I have no doubt about that.
Hoogendyk impressed me at the GOP convention with his announcement speech(and 1/2 of the room was his volunteers). He knows he's a long shot and from what I've seen, he's acting like it. He won't beat himself.
I missed the Nancy Cassis announcement.
Other rumors have possibly Dick DeVos or David Brandon(Dominoes CEO) running.
-----------------------
On the senate side, we have Bart Baron who is a Buchananite with no party support. In fact he ran as a dem against Joe Knollenberg. Former Detroit City Councilman and current Bishop Keith Butler is also in. He MIGHT be a sleeper. Other names mentioned for his spot are former congressman Nick Smith, Jane Abraham(Spence's wife), and Peter Cummings.
I'm hoping Candice Miller changes her mind, or Mike Rogers jumps in. I think those two are by far our best shots.
I hear there's a lot of Dick DeVos/AmWay fans around here...
