Rick Snyder, governor of Michigan, that is. He was initially on my list as a "possible," because pretty much all the midwestern governors were. He wasn't doing much in the invisible primary, however, so I deleted him, then last week former Minn. Senator Norm Coleman said Snyder was running, followed by Snyder saying he was keeping his options open and I put him back on the possible list. Isn't this fun?
Today Snyder made it official, he's not running. In a story in the Detroit Free Press, he says that he has no plans to run for president and will instead continue to do the work of governing Michigan. I've moved him to the "Officially Not Running" list.
