Zweifel won't run for MO Governor in 2016

   Missouri Treasurer Clint Zweifel is ruling out a run for governor in 2016.  

   Zweifel, a Democrat, is prohibited by term limits from seeking a third term as treasurer.

   He had been mentioned along with Democratic Attorney General Chris Koster as a potential successor to Democratic Governor Jay Nixon.  

   But Zweifel campaign manager Mike Pridmore said Monday that the state treasurer will not run for governor in 2016 because he want's to spend more time with his family.
