Bob Kerrey bid causes left to lash outBy DAVID CATANESE | 3/2/12 6:16 PM EST Bob Kerrey took a lonely position against banning gay marriage in the 1990s.

Is it the return of Bob Kerrey? The former Nebraska governor says he is coming “home” to Nebraska next week to talk with friends and others about another possible run for the U.S. Senate. Kerrey says he will make his decision quickly, after determining whether he has the “skills” and “experience” needed to help Nebraska and the nation address some of its problems, including the nation's debt woes. “I don't presume for a moment I would automatically win.
