In a sudden about-face, Dan Senor, who has been putting the pieces in place for a campaign against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, has just become the latest Republican to take a pass on challenging the Democratic junior senator.
Senor cited his family (his run would likely complicate things for his wife, CNN's Campbell Brown) and "business life" as the driving factors behind his decision.
His decision is a surprise, however. He was at the Monday Meeting just three days ago. There were reports that state GOP leaders wanted him to reconsider and challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer instead of Gillibrand - a move in which he showed no interest.
In recent weeks, Senor has been talking to New York and Washington, D.C consultants about a likely campaign and sources insisted he would announce this week - perhaps as early as today.
OK. Anyone else? Last Call!
