Moments ago at the State Capitol, Gov. Rowland-Rell just announced that she will not seek re-election in 2010.
Names of Republicans who could throw their hat into the governor's race include State Senator John McKinney, State Rep. Larry Cafero, and former Congressman Rob Simmons.
UPDATE: Lt. Gov Mike Fedele announces that he intends to run for governor.
UPDATE 2: Some question the timing of the governor's announcement:
Whispers in the state said that the timing of Rell's announcement -- she announced her retirement this afternoon in a press conference -- was tied to the release of a Quinnipiac University poll set to be released tomorrow that showed her losing significant altitude in advance of 2010.
