DescriptionBob Kerrey stepped to the brink of a possible 2008 Senate bid Thursday.

Kerrey placed a conference call to New School University trustees in New York City to inform them he may be returning to Nebraska.

A decision on whether to return to his roots and attempt to once again represent Nebraska in the Senate is likely “within the next couple of weeks,” Kerrey said in a telephone interview.

“I wanted my board to know it’s possible I would say yes. I want them to be prepared.”

Kerrey said he has become convinced Sen. Chuck Hagel will not be a candidate for a third term next year.

“I am more and more certain Chuck is not going to seek re-election,” Kerrey said, “and my intention is to make my decision before he makes an announcement.”
