Just saw this. I’m surprised, but then I’ve been
so out of the loop. Is it a surprise?
“I will not seek reelection the United States Senate but will retire from public service in January 2013,” Kyl said. He added that he was confident he would win if he ran again, adding: “There is no reason other than the fact than I think its time.” He revealed that he had all but decided not to run again when he won six years ago.
As for the future, “I wouldn’t close my mind to being a vice presidential candidate,” Kyl told reporters. “Having said that, I expect the chances of that are zero.”
