Bob Kerrey said Saturday during the Democratic Party’s annual Jefferson-Jaekson Day Dinner. “I’m encouraging several people to consider running, but he would be the strongest candi date,” said Kerrey, who heads the Democratic Senate campaign committee. Nelson said he was leaning against entering the race. “I haven’t set a time frame for a decision,” Nelson said. “I know it can’t go on indefinitely.” Nelson had no decision or announcement following a meeting Sunday with Kerrey.
