Harvard Pilgrim's Baker won't run for governor

Ending months of speculation about his political aspirations, Charles Baker, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's president and CEO, announced Monday morning that he will not run for governor in 2006.

Baker, a Republican, notified the health insurer's board of directors and staff that he would remain with the insurer instead of entering state politics. Among his reasons for not running: It wasn't the right time for his family.

"Entering this race at this time would require putting my interests above the interests of the rest of my family," he said in a statement.

In an e-mail to employees explaining his decision Baker said a run for governor would place "an unfair burden" on his young children.

So that leaves Kerry 'Barbie Doll' Healey and ?????
