__The 2012 race for Pennsylvania Attorney General became a little clearer
this week after an announcement helped solidify the field for the Democratic
Primary.

Former Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham (D), long considered a
likely candidate, announced she would not run for Attorney General in 2012.
Abraham, who joined a Philadelphia law firm earlier this year, has announced
this week that she wants to stay at her firm and not run for public office.

This leaves the field with three declared Democratic candidates; former US
Rep. Patrick Murphy, former Assistant Lackawanna County Attorney Kathleen
Granahan Kane, and Philadelphia Attorney Dan McCaffrey.
