| Description | There will be no political comeback in 2010 for former Republican Rep. Jim Ramstad.
Ramstad's admission last month that he was considering a run for the open Minnesota governor seat stirred up considerable buzz, but he quashed that Wednesday evening with an e-mail to local press announcing he would not be mounting a campaign.
Ramstad gave no reason for the decision, telling supporters just that he was "humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support from people across party lines" for a potential run. He also said he planned "to continue in public service," just not as governor.
Ramstad retired in 2008 after nine terms in the House. He is currently a resident fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics. |
