Democrats To Land Star Candidate For Tough Senate Race?

Bob Kerrey For Senate? Ex-Senator Exploring Run In 2012

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Former Nebraska governor and senator Bob Kerrey said Friday he's exploring a possible run for the U.S. Senate.

Kerrey, a Democrat, said he'll come to a decision quickly on whether to pursue a bid in 2012. The deadline to declare candidacy for the spot is March 1.

Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson, who currently holds the seat up for re-election this year, said last month he would not seek re-election. Kerrey said, at the very least he plans to spend more time in Nebraska.

Attempts to reach Kerrey by phone and email were unsuccessful on Friday.
