   __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.
