Republican Michael Reagan has shot down speculation that he will challenge Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 2012, saying he has no plans to jump in the race.

"I am not crazy enough to run..No I am not considering a run for senate," Reagan wrote in an email to The Bee.

Buzz that Reagan, the son of former California Governor and President Ronald Reagan, was weighing a bid for U.S. Senate picked up last week as California Republicans gathered for their fall convention in Los Angeles. But the GOP consultant and former radio host dismissed a report that he was mulling a bid in an interview with Fox News and subsequent message to The Bee today.

He told Fox News that he isn't interested in toll running for office would take on his family, adding that he is content with his current career path of public speaking and consulting.

1. I disagree

He IS crazy enough, he just doesnt have the balls to try.

2. I think you're right. I also remember he was the kid that Reagan didn't even recognize at his

HS graduation.

Guess that's what happens when the first wife wants easy/boarding school-able/designer kids to perk up the fan magazine articles.

That poor idiot was always a prop. Nothing's changed.

He's kind of pathetic, when you ignore his mendacity and ignorance.

5. and then for Ron Reagan jr to get the good name and all that extra coolness. Wow that must

really hurt.

8. +1000 You are right!

He's a lazy slob!

[monmouth]

3. Ran the numbers/analyzed them. Even dog catcher is out...n/t

4. Hey, he acknowledges the truth: that you have to be batshit insane

to the Nth power to be a Repig senator.

9. +1

6. All talk. No action.

[No Elephants]

10. Come on, folks, cut him some slack. The best thing a Republican Reagan can do for the U.S. is not

run for public office.

Okay, he could have chosen a better way to say it, but I'm glad he won't run anyway.
