If you read my colleague David Hoff’s new piece about Margaret Spellings, you’ll see that she seems to put to rest speculation, at least for the near future, that she may return to her home state of Texas to pursue a run for governor in 2010, or possibly the U.S. Senate.

Spellings told EdWeek’s Hoff that she expects to keep living in suburban Washington, D.C., until her youngest daughter graduates from high school in 2010. “I’m probably going to stay in Washington for a while,” she said.
