As the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports:

Fort Collins resident Bob Schaffer flew to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to meet with politicos but said he hasn’t decided whether to run for Senate in 2008.

Reached on his cell phone as he changed planes, Schaffer, a Republican, said he planned to have dinner with senators and meet with “political folks” during his trip.

The political blog Colorado Pols reported Tuesday that Schaffer had decided to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Loveland Republican Sen. Wayne Allard, who earlier this month said he wouldn’t seek a third term because of a pledge he made to voters to serve only two terms. Schaffer said he hadn’t yet made the call…

Translation: he doesn’t want to acknowledge the news coming from a blog (we’ve heard it before), and he’ll tell you he’s running–he is running, of course–when he’s good and ready to.
