Wow, another huge break for Virg Bernero in his bid to be the Democrats' man for governor: Former state treasurer Bob Bowman says he will not be running. Bowman is the second potential candidate with deep pockets to back away from the Democratic primary in barely a week.
So, Michigan Democrats have two candidates in the race -- Bernero and Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith -- and a whole lotta speculation. House Speaker Andy Dillon may still get in, but he's exceedingly vulnerable to the "Democrat in name only" attack after making enemies with practically every traditional Democratic constituency.
Maybe Bernero is proving the old adage, "It's better to be lucky than good."
