The
BOSTON GLOBE is reporting, that once again, Joseph Kennedy will not take the plunge, & run for Governor...
..."I have no intention of running for governor," said Kennedy, the 52-year-old former Massachusetts congressman, who has been operating his nonprofit fuel assistance program since he gave up his seat in 1998. "I am not looking to get back into elective office"...
...For each gubernatorial race since 1990, the question -- would Kennedy run? -- has loomed over the Democratic Party's early primary campaigns, often freezing others from joining the races until he announced his decision.
Because of Kennedy's popularity and near-celebrity status, some leaders and activists in the Democratic Party, which has not won a governor's race in the Bay State since 1986, had hoped this year the answer would be yes, feeling that he represented their best chance to defeat Romney...
Is it about being burnt-out on politics & wanting to be with family, or is there something more?
