r GOP candidates planning
and hoping for 2012 success
Hank Choate, co-owner of Choate's Belly Acres farm, introduces Republican candidate for governor Rick Snyder after the pair
toured the farm in Liberty Township near Jackson, Mich. yesterday.
Snyder, Bernro declare
plan for diverseI cabinets
Mich. gubernatorial
candidates promise
to pick bipartisan
cabinet if elected
LANSING, Mich. (AP)- Wheth-
er voters pick Democrat Virg Ber-
nero or Republican Rick Snyder
as Michigan's next governor, the
state's new department heads will
likely be a diverse group.
Bernero said Wednesday that
he kept a mix of Republicans and
Democrats on board when he
became Lansing mayor five years
ago and likely would do that as gov-
ernor if he wins Nov. 2. And both
he and Snyder said they will name
a cabinet that represents a wide
spectrum of viewpoints.
"We want a cabinet that looks
like the state of Michigan and it
will," Bernero told The Associated
Press in a Wednesday phone inter-
view between campaign appear-
ances. He added that he'd appoint
"the best and the brightest."
Snyder also said he'll choose his
cabinet based more on merit than
political affiliation, and expects to
have some Democrats in the mix.
"We'll look for a broad back-
ground in terms of all the diver-
sity criteria, with gender, ethnic
groups, to get a wide representa-
tion. Because I view that as a posi-
tive," he said earlier this week after
campaigning at a Jackson County
dairy farm.
The official governor's residence
in Lansing could remain unoc-
cupied during the next admin-
istration. Snyder, who lives in a
gated community in Washtenaw
County's Superior Township and
has a large vacation home on Gun
Lake near Hastings, said he won't
live in Lansing until his young-
est daughter graduates from high
school. She just started ninth grade
at Greenhills Academy, a small pri-
vate school in Ann Arbor for grades
6-12. Snyder also has two older
children.
The Ann Arbor businessman
said he'd like to investigate rent-
ing out the 8,700-square-foot gov-
ernor's residence, located in an
upscale Lansing neighborhood, for
various events.
The residence, which under-
went a $2.5 million addition and
improvements in 2003, now has
five bedrooms, a private family
room that includes a kitchenette,
a fully commercial kitchen, a large
dining room and a sunken living
room that looks out on extensive
flower gardens and a vegetable
and herb garden used by the resi-
dence's current chef. Gov. Jennifer
Granholm, her husband and three
children moved into the residence
in 2003.
"Is there a way we can leverage
the residence in a positive way for
people to do events there, other
things that would be worthwhile?"
Snyder asked. "Again, I'm a cost-
efficient guy. How can we get value
for money?"
Bernero, who lives in a more
modest house a couple blocks away
from the governor's residence,
said he hasn't thought yet about
whether he'd move there if elected.
His wife, Teri, is the principal at
an elementary school in the neigh-
borhood and plans to keep that job
whether he's mayor or governor on
Jan. 1. The couple's two daughters
are out of high school.
Both candidates concentrated
their efforts Wednesday on cam-
paigning in west Michigan.
Snyder held afternoon campaign
rallies in Holland and Muskegon,
while Bernero stopped at a Battle
Creek coffee shop to greet voters
before holding rallies in Benton
Harbor, Muskegon and Grand Rap-
ids.
Republicans look to
gain political ground
closer to elections
WASHINGTON (AP) - Get
ready for the big tease.
Republicans positioning for a
possible presidential run are, to
varying degrees, courting donors,
testing messages and plotting
strategies. They're visiting early
primary states, wooing key activ-
ists and, all the while, stirring
interest as they gauge whether to
launch full-fledged campaigns.
"We can see 2012 from our
house," Sarah Palin quipped
recently, setting off another round
of will-she-or-won't-she specula-
tion.
But even though Nov. 3 is the
unofficial start of the 2012 cam-
paign, don't expect a surge of
Republicans to declare their inten-
tions anytime soon.
From Mitt Romney to Tim
Pawlenty, few if any GOP aspirants
plan to officially get into the race -
or formally bow out of it - before
year's end. And many, like Newt
Gingrich and Haley Barbour, are
expected to wait even longer -
spring or beyond - to announce
whether they will launch candi-
dacies for the chance to challenge
President Barack Obama in his
likely re-election race.
It's a sharp contrast to the last
presidential race, when Republi-
cans and Democrats alike jumped
in just days after the 2006 midterm
elections, a flurry of activity kick-
ing off a frenetic two-year sprint
that ended with Obama's election.
Not this year.
There's a general consensus in
Washington - and among Repub-
licans close to the potential candi-
dates - that the last White House
race started too soon and cost too
much.
By delaying disclosure of their
plans, prospective candidates will
have more time to build campaign
organizations withoutthe scrutiny
that comes with being a declared
entrant. They also put off the enor-
mous expense that comes with
launching a presidential operation
more than a year before the GOP
presidential nomination contests
start with the Iowa caucuses in
February 2012.
Uncertainty is a huge factor,
too, as Republicans make up their
minds about whether the climate
is right..
No one knows whether the tea
party that wreaked havoc on GOP
primaries will be a force beyond
the Nov. 2 elections. Or whether
Obama's popularity will stay mired
under 50 percent. Or whether
unemployment will still hover
near 10 percent. Or, perhaps most
importantly, how Republican lead-
ers in Washington position in their
first months in office should they
win control of the House or, less
likely, of the Senate.
For those reasons and more,
Republicans considering running
are, in the words of Barbour, "keep-
ing their powder dry."
They're carefully watching the.
president, as well as one another,
as they try to map out plans in an
unpredictable political climate.
And, they're keeping an eye out for
any signs that independents like
New York Mayor Michael Bloom-
berg will make a move.
For Romney, there's little reason
to get into the mix now - much
less first. The former Massachu-
setts governor lost the nomination
in 2008 to John McCain and is
well-known in Iowa, New Hamp-
shire, South Carolina and other
early primary states. Plus, he's got
deep pockets should he decide to
tap his personal fortune. And he's
ahead of the pack in organiza-
tion, with the remnants of his first
White House campaign.
Barbour, Mississippi's governor
and the chairman of the Republi-
can Governor's Association, plans
to spend the rest of the year revel-
ing in expected gubernatorial vic-
tories on Nov. 2. He'll hold court at
an RGA meeting next month in San
Diego. As chairman, he's solidi-
fied his stature as a national party
leader and proven that he's capable
of raising mounds of money. He's
been huddling with advisers as he
considers a White House run.
Gingrich, the former House
speaker from Georgia, also is in
no rush. He's waiting until at least
March to disclose his intentions.
He already has a ready-made cam-
paign organization, fundraising
base and grass-roots following
through his American Solutions
policy network, and he essentially
has been running from that pllat *
form all year.
The later the start of the 2012
campaign, the better for celeb-
rity politicians like Palin, the py.-
governor of Alaska and 2008 vce
presidential nominee, and former
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckaeg,
who have lucrative media anoI
speaking contracts. They'd preb-
ably have to cut those ties should
they enter the race. Demand for
their time could well dry up if they
say they're not running. Plus, as
long as they keep people guessip*,
they're sure to get plenty of atten-
tion.
Aspirants who are not nearlygas
well-known - like former Penn-
sylvania Sen. Rick Santorum or
Indiana Rep. Mike Pence - could
benefit from getting in soonqr
rather than later because of the
free media attention. , -
While Pawlenty falls into that
category, the Minnesota governqr
suggested he'd announce wheth-
er he would run around MaAeh.
Republican insiders consider it
inevitable that he'll get in atr
more than a year of planning. He
leaves his post in January afterctwo
terms and will promote his new
book, "Courage to Stand," a lqur
that could serve to boost his prqfiie
nationally.
South Dakota Sen. John Thune
and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels
have indicated to associates thqt
they're in no hurry either.
Thune is part of the GOP's leqd-
ership team, and has been talking
in private about a possible bid.
And Daniels has hosted a serie9,nf
closed-door dinners with top GOP
fundraising, business and policy
leaders as he gauges his chances0
Nearly all have sent money froap *
their political action committ;es
to Republican candidates, cam-
paigned with them, and endorsed
them.
In the final days, Gingriclh-s

sylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Flori4a
and South Carolina. Barbour is hit-
ting 13 states in five days, inclu4-
ing Iowa and New Hampshire.
Pawlenty, the No. 2 at RGA, will
join him for part of the trip.
