Scott plans not to run for Senate

Rep. Robert "Bobby" Scott, D-Newport News, announced Monday that he will not run for U.S. Senate in 2012, instead endorsing fellow Democrat and former Virginia governor Tim Kaine. "Though I believe I can win the Democratic nomination and the general election, a winning campaign would require me to devote all of my time for the next 14 months to that campaign," Scott said in a statement.
