It's been pretty plain that Topinka wanted to run for the top job. She's not been shy about using state funds to raise her profile, such as when she suddenly launched a flurry of "public service" ads touting tuition aid during the campaign for treasurer, or her recent "tour" posing as a business Santa Clause going around the state bringing gifts of millions to supposed tech businesses.

After all, she's the only surviving Republican in a state constitutional office.
She certainly could give Rod a run for his money, though her poll results, gone into in more detail in recent posts at Capitol Fax, don't look as rosy when you take a closer look.
