Former baseball player Curt Schilling has announced that he is not running for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.

“Regardless of the amount of support and outreach that’s been given to me, it just did not make sense,” said Schilling, a conservative who campaigned in the past for George W. Bush and John McCain.

This leaves the state Sen. Scott Brown as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. A recent poll showed Brown severely trailing the Democratic frontrunner, state Attorney General Martha Coakley.
