U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott said Friday he's not ready to announce if he'll run for the U.S. Senate in 2012.
The Newport News Democrat said in March that he was considering making the bid for his party's Senate nomination because the House, where he has served for almost two decades, has become so divisive.
Scott said in a prepared statement that he is delaying his decision for an unspecified time but acknowledged that the longer he waits, the more likely another candidate can "build insurmountable leads, making a later entry unfeasible."
If Scott runs, he'll first have to compete for his party's nomination against former Gov. Tim Kaine and Julien Modica of Reston. The victor will face the winner of a five-person Republican primary.
