Official: Gary Hart Won't Run
A few days ago we wrote about rumors Gary Hart had decided not to run for U.S. Senate against Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Hart made it official last night.
Hart, who represented Colorado in the Senate from 1975 to 1987, opted out of this year's race by saying he thought he could make his best contribution by writing and speaking on national issues. It was the second time Hart had ruled out a run for the seat, and in his announcement's wake, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb's name came up for the second time, although even those recruiting him signaled little hope he would enter the race.
Before that, Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., toyed with the idea of challenging Campbell for months before opting out right around Christmas.
