Owens says no to Senate campaign, backs Allard

And he did it with a lot more conviction than Scott McInnis did. From The Rocky Mountain News:

"[A Senate run] is not something that I'm looking at... I've really enjoyed every day that I've been governor, but I also am really looking forward to what comes next. In my case, I'm going to be doing some international business, going to be putting some kids through college..." Owens said a successful Allard re-election campaign would be the best scenario for Colorado because it would retain the incumbent's seniority and experience on Capitol Hill.
