Steve Cooley has said he wasn’t interested in running to be the next state attorney general. But then, he also said he wasn’t interested in running for a third term as Los Angeles County district attorney, and here he is.

Ofgang writes:

‘Sounding very much like someone who has made up his mind to run, he told the MetNews that he has ‘been strongly encouraged in the last several months’ to seek the post ‘and I am definitely considering it.’ He said he wanted to ‘get through the holidays and the bowl games’ and will announce his decision in the next 10 to 12 days.’
