(Thats Striker Hoekstra)Mark Hornbeck Wrote today in the Detroit News:
Congressman Peter Hoekstra said today he'll announce Monday whether he will run for governor in 2010 and strongly hinted that he will enter the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
The Holland Republican, who has said he won't run for a 10th term in the 2nd Congressional District, said this morning on Detroit talk radio that he'll spend the day Monday making his announcement and it's reasonable to assume he will be in.
Hoekstra said the question is, "in a blue state, how do you put together a coalition that can win? I think it's very, very doable."
Commenting on the candidacy of Democratic Lt. Gov. John Cherry, who has already said he's running, Hoekstra said: "I hope John Cherry and the Democrats run on Gov. Granholm's record ... if nothing changes, nothing changes."
He said neither party can be blamed for the woes of the auto industry, but he said the state's chief executive should have seen the domestic auto decline coming and done more to diversify the state's economic base and to make Michigan a better place to do business.
This is Congressman Hoekstra:
