Dave Catanese of Politico reports U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) will likely run for a fourth term in 2012 after losing the 2010 gubernatorial primary
“„Hutchison hasn’t yet given any public indication of whether she’s running, and top Republicans in Washington, as well as personal friends, say she’s keeping her cards close to her vest.
“„But with the looming March 2012 primary, several other candidates swirling and the senator remaining tight-lipped, many GOP-ers see no reason to believe Hutchison’s ready to step aside.
“„“She’s running for reelection,” said one Texas Republican who has worked with the senator, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Indecision is the status quo.”
