Kay in 2012?!?
She said she would limit her time in the U.S. Senate to two terms and is currently serving a third. She said she would resign her federal office to run for governor and didn’t. She said she would quit after the primary and hasn’t. So who’s to say she won’t reconsider in two years and run for a fourth term? And what of all those would-be successors?
