Val Kilmer ponders run for New Mexico governor in 2010

SANTA FE, N.M. — Fresh from the inauguration — a commemorative coin still in his pocket — actor Val Kilmer is pondering the pull of public service.

Some “serious people” want him to consider running for governor, he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“I’m just looking for ways to be contributive,” Kilmer said, dunking his tea bag in a big mug of hot water at a local restaurant. “And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run.”

But there’s no decision yet.

“It’s really day to day,” he added.

So what should Richardson López to do once he’s out?
