ATLANTA (AP) - Consumer advocate and broadcast personality Clark
Howard says he had decided not to run for mayor of Atlanta.

In an interview on WSB Radio Wednesday morning, Howard said,
"As I got closer and closer to getting involved and got more involved in the political world and met with more and more people, it was clear that my life as I knew it with my children was over.''

He said, "There was no way I could serve the people of Atlanta as I should, if I were to run for mayor, and still be a good father to my kids. Just couldn't happen. I could not do that to my kids.
