GLENN SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN, BACKS DURANT: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Gary Glenn, a social conservative backed by elements of the tea party movement, suspended his campaign and announced he will support rival Clark Durant in the final 2 1/2 weeks before the August 6 primary. http://on.freep.com/MrERsR
Hoekstra's 2Q fundraising triples Durant's: Former U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra had a nearly 3-to-1 fundraising advantage in the second quarter over Clark Durant, his chief fundraising rival in the GOP race for U.S. Senate. Hoekstra, the frontrunner in GOP primary polls, ended the quarter with nearly $1.7 million in cash on hand after raising $734,407 in net contributions in the second quarter this year. He'll face Durant, co-founder of Cornerstone Schools; Randy Hekman, a former judge and administrative pastor; and Gary Glenn of Midland, who earned the backing of a coalition of Michigan tea parties in the Aug. 7 primary. Durant has $1.4 million in cash and raised $272,844 in the second quarter. http://bit.ly/O9lZyV
BAD ECONOMY TAKING ITS TOLL ON OBAMA: The first round of polls is out after President Obama's Bain attacks against Mitt Romney and the results aren't good news for the White House. By themselves, the national toplines are discouraging enough - Romney holds a (statistically-insignificant) 47 to 46 percent lead in the new CBS/NYT poll, and the president is stuck at 47 percent in the just-released Fox News and NPR poll in 12 battleground states. http://bit.ly/MtRuSv
BIRTHWEEK: Monday. Justice Anthony Kennedy. Tuesday. José Valverde. Thursday. Mick Jagger. Sunday. Alexis de Tocqueville, Ted Lindsay.
FIRST-PLACE TIGERS SWEEP SOX, Miguel Cabrera clubs 300th homer: Why just win a series when you can sweep it. Charging into first place on Saturday, then adding a game to their lead on Sunday, the Tigers applied the finishing touch to a three-game sweep over the Chicago White Sox with a 6-4 triumph at Comerica Park. The Tigers lead the Sox by 1.5 games in the AL Central. http://bit.ly/NqrtXW
