Rep. Shuler Considering Run for Governor

A source close to North Carolina 11th District U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler tells News 13 that he is strongly considering and leaning towards running for governor.

The source tells News 13's Russ Bowen that an announcement could happen in a matter of days.  The news comes just hours after Gov. Bev Perdue announced she would not seek a second term in 2012.  We'll have much more on this story later today on News 13.
