The Associated Press reports:
The third big-name Democrat to consider a Maine Senate run – former Gov. John Baldacci – won’t be issuing rapid-fire decision like Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree.
Baldacci is prohibited from politicking while he wraps up a Pentagon contract this month, potentially delaying his announcement on whether he’ll enter the race, which was thrown wide open by Sen. Olympia Snowe’s announcement last week that she won’t seek a fourth term.
Behind the scenes, however, signatures are being collected on Baldacci’s behalf and could be submitted before next week’s deadline to appear on the June ballot.
