Bob Kerrey is going to take the weekend.
The former Nebraska governor says he is still discussing a possible U.S. Senate bid with his family and doesn't expect a decision this weekend. He does not know when he will make it, but has said he hopes to make it quickly to give other Democrats including former Lt. Gov. Kim Robak and State Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha the time to consider their own possible campaigns.
Kerrey's decision is being closely monitored by both Democrats and Republicans. He is considered a political big dog whose entry into the race would instantly catapult Nebraska's U.S. Senate race back onto the national stage.
Kerrey, a Democrat, is considering running for the seat to be vacated by Democratic U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson, who announced last month he would not seek a third term.
