Description | Don't start printing "Gregg for president" bumper stickers just yet.
Though speculation has been rampant about the political future of New Hampshire's retiring senior senator, Republican Judd Gregg, observers on the ground in New Hampshire say there's little chance Gregg will mount a run in 2012.
"It stretches the definition of unlikely," said Tom Rath, a Republican strategist who chaired Gregg's Senate campaign and has advised several presidential campaigns. "He'd be a great choice, a great candidate and a better president. But I have absolutely zero belief that it could or might happen."
When an ABC News reporter asked Gregg last week if he would run for president in 2012, Gregg responded, "That's not likely, and I wouldn't expect to be doing that." But, he said he would not rule out anything in his future. He did say he plans to be actively involved in the presidential primary. |
