Businessman and former Gateway CEO Rick Snyder has claimed victory in the race for the Republican nomination for governor. Snyder says winning seemed improbable when he launched his campaign that became known by his slogan, "One Tough Nerd."

"You worked hard," Snyder says. "We worked hard as a team and Michigan has spoken! And we've got a new definition for a nerd now, don't we?"

Snyder is a centrist Republican who spent millions of dollars of his own fortune to emerge as the leader of a five-person field.
