Still on the call with Brian Krolicki.  Here’s the main stuff:

He’s not running for U.S. Senate, as surmised earlier.

Said was not a money decision:  “I believed the resources would be there” and “I did not open up an FEC account but in terms of pledges, I believe we could have raised the seven figures needed to run.”

Said was partially a matter of support:  “Having the right campaign team and the right grassroots volunteers is important…with me starting so late, many had already obligated themselves to other candidates.”

And a matter of campaign talent:  “Also, not having access to the people that have helped me along the way:  Ryan Erwin, who had contracted with another candidate, John Chachas, many months ago…  Ryan, being a decent man, has to honor his contract.”

On other matters:

Question re: mining tax:  “The mining industry in NV and in North America realizes they need to participate in another way” but “We need to make sure we don’t kill the golden goose.”

Update (8:40 p.m.):  Meant to come back and add to this sooner.  I was rushed when I posted this and now I’m just tired, so how about if you go read Steve Sebelius’ write-up at SlashPolitics instead.
