Keller @ Large: Joe Kennedy 'Working Through' Idea Of Possible Senate Run

BOSTON (CBS) – Rep. Joe Kennedy isn't yet ready to commit to a Senate run against Ed Markey. But in a sit-down with WBZ-TV political analyst, Kennedy spoke about why he's considering running, and what he believes he could bring to the election.

"Working through it," Kennedy said when asked about a possible Senate run. "It's a big decision, for me, for my family, but there's also the question of how you're gonna be received across the state."
