Brewer to announce she'll run for governor

[ccharles000]

Gov. Jan Brewer is expected to make it official Thursday that she wants a full term of her own as the state’s chief executive.

Multiple sources confirmed for Capitol Media Services that Brewer is planning to file the legal papers necessary to start collecting both donations and signatures for the 2010 campaign. A formal announcement is tentatively set for Thursday evening.

The governor herself and her aides refused to comment publicly.

Brewer, who inherited the job in January after Janet Napolitano quit to take a job in the Obama administration, already faces a primary against two fairly well-known Republicans: former state party Chairman John Munger and Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker. And state Treasurer Dean Martin said he, too, is weighing a gubernatorial bid.

Pollster Earl de Berge said that Brewer’s popularity has taken a hit because of the state budget crisis. A September survey done by his Behavior Research Center showed that only 24 percent of registered voters rated her performance so far as excellent or good.

But he said Brewer should not be seen as an underdog.

3. Who is going to run against her? Please tell me we have a strong candidate.

Not like when Pederson ran against Kyl...it was like Pederson didn't even try and look at all Kyl has done and said since that election.
