Kerrey: 1% chance I'd run for Senate

WASHINGTON - Former Nebraska Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey recently tested the waters for a possible U.S. Senate bid, but he said Thursday evening that there was only a 1 percent chance that he would run again - and only if GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel didn't run for re-election next year.

Kerrey asked his longtime political adviser, Paul Johnson, to gauge public opinion on him. That led to Democratic pollster Harrison Hickman's sampling Nebraskans' views with some telephone calls. Hickman didn't conduct a full-fledged poll, Kerrey said.

Kerrey said he was told that the results were "the same old stuff. Some people like you, some people don't."

The former governor and two-term senator who decided not to seek re-election in 2000 said that the sampling won't affect his judgment and that he will decide "very quickly" about the race.
