Via PA2010: Ridge won’t run for Senate

After much speculation, former Gov. Tom Ridge today announced that he would not seek the GOP nomination for Senate next year.

In a statement, Ridge said he had been heartened by the support and encouragement he received from within the party and that it had been a difficult decision for him. He expressed a desire to still be involved in the party’s development.

One suspects that his internal polling told him that a win over Specter wasn’t likely. This strikes me as the smart move by Ridge, as it really seems unlikely to me that he would ultimately be the winner in 2024. If he wants a Senate seat, better to wait.
