DescriptionThe Republican who could raise more money than any other and who has a ready-made statewide campaign organization is not running for governor.

Former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman announced Sunday night that he will sit out the 2010 race, leaving seven candidates in the GOP column.

“I love Minnesota and I love public service, but this is not the right time for me and my family,” Coleman said in a Sunday night statement.

Coleman, in a statement given to KSTP television's Tom Hauser, thanked those who urged him to run, but said, “I’ve learned there are lots of ways to serve without an official position.”

Coleman indicated he will remain involved in public policy issues.
