![WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 16: U.S. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) speaks during a news conference at the U.S. Capitol February 16, 2012 in Washington, DC. The four Republican senators met to discuss four bipartisan jobs bills passed by the House that they say are being blocked by the Senate Democrat leadership in the Senate.

Though it’s widely assumed that Scott Brown will attempt to fight his way back into the Senate this summer in the special election for John Kerry’s soon-to-be vacant seat, he might follow in Mitt Romney’s footsteps and run for governor of Massachusetts. If Brown wins the Senate race in a few months, he’ll still have to run again next year, and there doesn’t seem to be a strong contender to succeed Deval Patrick in 2014. Sources tell Politico that Brown still hasn’t made up his mind, and presumably he could remain in his current gig as solely “a dad and a husband” — though since his family had him cleaning out the garage this weekend, it doesn’t seem likely.
