DENVER - Hours after GOP Gov. Bill Owens said he would not run for the Senate, Democratic Rep. Mark Udall jumped into the race.
"I'm in the race. I'm packing my ropes and I'm getting ready to climb the mountain," Udall told The Associated Press Tuesday evening.
The decision by Udall, son of former Rep. Morris "Mo" Udall of Arizona, came after Owens said he had decided against a campaign because his family is more important than national office.
