Bob Kerrey Will Not Seek Nebraska Senate Seat
February 7, 2012
Former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey would have made more than just a formidable candidate this fall had he chosen to run for office. More importantly had he run and been victorious he would have made a wise and moderate member of Congress; a body that is in need of some civility and reasonableness.
In an email statement, Kerrey said, “I have given the decision of becoming a candidate for the U.S. Senate very serious thought and prayer. For many reasons I nearly said yes. In the end I choose to remain a private citizen. To those who urged me to do so, I am sorry, very sorry to have disappointed you. I hope you understand that I have chosen what I believe is best for my family and me.”

I don’t know what trick book, but I suspect somebody is smokin’ something…
Smokey, have you ever seen them both in the chambers at the same time? I think not. Oldest trick in the book.
Solly,
You have the wrong Kerry. This is Bob, Not John the ketchup man.
Just because he’s rich and married to the Catsup Heiress, I don’t think he should be entitled to two votes in the Senate, the other being Massachusetts.
It is a disappointment, but in the end family must always triumph.
