Texas senator won't run for re-election By SUZANNE GAMBOA, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison said Tuesday she will not seek re-election after her current Senate term and is weighing other options, which could include a bid for Texas governor.

"I was honest in the (2006) campaign that it was my intention to not go beyond this last term, third term," said Hutchison of Texas. "I know every other option is certainly available, but I don't intend to run for a fourth term."

She said running for Texas governor in 2010 is one option but she has not made a decision.

Hutchison was a little exasperated Tuesday with the attention to her plans.

The renewed interest was triggered by her comments to Texas Monthly magazine. Excerpts of the interview were posted Monday on the magazine's "State of Mine" feature written by editor Evan Smith. The full interview is to be published in December.
