Don't mean to brag but, CALLED IT!!!!
Sorry, couldn't resist. He was part of the friend's of Angelou thingy with Dodd and after what happened to Pomeroy in 2010, someone who wasn't connected to a financial scandal related to the collapse, he probably decided not to bother with reelection.
One more thing. Either there was a poll somewhere that he saw that had him losing, or the buzz among Dem strategists in DC is that they don't plan to go after North Dakota at all for Obama, or both.
Might bet is Wayne Stenejhem will be the Hoeven (minus about 20 points but thats still more then enough
) and we will see an annoucement from him soon.
A lot will have to go wrong for Republicans to not win the Senate in 2012. As it stands, we're looking at 49 seats, and the chances of us finding two more pickups out there are pretty good. 1 if we take the White House.
The good thing is we have plenty of options to go after. Also Nevada looks much better with Heller now putting Ensign out to pasture in primary polling. Still a long way off though.
Oh, and I trust that is really Lunar and not Vander having reached whole new levels of impersonation?
