DENVER — State Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha has emerged as the most likely high-profile Democratic gubernatorial candidate in 2010.

“I’m thinking about it,” Lathrop confirmed late Tuesday night.

But, he said, he probably would delay a decision until March.

Heineman said this week he expects to seek re-election in 2010.
