From lsj.com:
Former Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Bill Schuette and state Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop have the next two weeks to sway party faithful in their campaigns for the Republican nomination for Michigan attorney general.
Schuette has the endorsement of GOP gubernatorial nominee Rick Snyder and the backing of a large number of party activists on his side, but there’s no guarantee how delegates will vote at the party’s Aug. 28 convention.
Both Schuette and Bishop are crisscrossing the state in a final push before a pick is made and the winner launches his two-month-long general election campaign.
“Going into the convention, Schuette is the guy to beat,” said William Rustem of Public Sector Consultants, a nonpartisan Lansing think tank. “He’s done a significant job in reaching out across the state.”
