| Description | NEW YORK (AP) - Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey said Monday it is "unlikely" that he will enter the race for New York City mayor, citing a commitment to his current job as president of New School University.
"It is unlikely I will enter this race as a candidate," Kerrey said in a statement. "I intend to make a final decision and announcement later this week."
Kerrey surprised political observers by saying over the weekend he was considering entering the race, telling The New York Times that "I am just crazy enough to do this."
He cited a failure of administration of Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg to stand up to Washington policies that he said were hurting the city, including unfair allotment of homeland-security money.
