Feinstein Mulls California Gubernatorial Bid

WASHINGTON (AP) ― Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein says she will base a decision on whether to run for California governor next year largely on the solutions the announced candidates put forward to deal with the state's fiscal problems.

Polls indicate she would be a heavy favorite if she chooses to run. Feinstein told The Associated Press in a brief interview Thursday that she is grateful for that support, but it will not be a significant factor in her decision.

She also says she will not be swayed by the opening created last week when San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom dropped out of the race.

Rather, Feinstein wants to see candidates put forward strong platforms that provide specifics about dealing with the state's
budget mess.
