From the SJ-R:
State Sen. Sam McCann, after apparently working to have petitions distributed, issued a statement Tuesday saying he is not running for governor.
“I am humbled and honored,” said the statement, issued in late afternoon. “However, despite rumors to the contrary, I am not an independent candidate for governor.”
These politicians are funny beings. They crave attention. Not all of it ends up - in the long run - being good attention. Time will tell for Sam.
