| Description | Is he or isn't he?
Democratic Attorney General Mike Hatch, long assumed to be planning a run for governor next year, told a columnist for the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Argus Leader that he will make his 2006 run official Oct. 24, according to a story published Tuesday.
But Hatch's spokeswoman said he will simply declare his "intentions for his political future" then — not necessarily officially declare he is running for governor.
Hatch has been publicly coy about whether he would run for governor or try for his third term as attorney general. At the same time, Hatch has seemed to be working to build support for a gubernatorial campaign.
According to the Argus Leader column, Hatch said he "plans to announce Oct. 24 that he will seek the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party nomination for governor."
David Kranz, the columnist who interviewed Hatch last week, said the attorney general mentioned the date of the announcement and then "he said, 'Whoops! I hadn't told anybody that, but I guess I let it out of the bag.' "
But Tuesday Hatch's spokeswoman said the announcement piece is only partly true.
"He is making an announcement Oct. 24. That is correct," spokeswoman Leslie Sandberg said. She would not say if those "intentions for his political future" include a run for governor. |
