ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday he will not run for state attorney general, taking him out of a race that could have set him against his estranged brother-in-law, Andrew Cuomo.

Kennedy, 51, said that running for the office now held by Eliot Spitzer would have forced him to sacrifice time with his wife and six children.

``After careful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided that I cannot take this step at this time,'' Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and son of slain Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, said in a statement.

He said he wanted to be with his children ``to make a difference in their lives while I still can.'' But he added that a run for public office ``will indeed be the next step in my career.''

6. I have read what he has written and I have heard him

speak in person. I know he has dedicated his public life to trying to save the environment. Being a "rich boy " he wouldn't have had to do this. And how the hell do you know he isn't what I say ? And tell me what is more " solid " then your integrity ?
