Yep.

It doesn't even look all that opportunistic to the general public since he already represents the entire state.

Maybe Earl Pomeroy will change his mind and try to get his seat back. Or maybe Democrats are done for in North Dakota.

I think ND's 3-Democrat delegation for 18 years was just a coincidence.

The Democrats don't have a single statewide office there; thats definitely not good for recruitment in future elections.

It was vestigial of a time around the early 1980s where Democrats did unusually well in ND, holding many statewide offices that they had never held before or since. Conrad, Dorgan and Pomeroy each held a statewide office in this era.

I hope Rick runs. He seems like the perfect candidate for this race.
