RUN AWAY!!!!:
Democrat Won't Seek Reelection to Senate ( Z. Byron Wolf, 1/05/10, ABC News)
Posted by Orrin Judd at January 5, 2010 7:32 AMA key Democratic Senator from a state that reliably votes for Republicans in Presidential elections says he won’t seek reelection in 2010.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-ND, will have served 18 years in the Senate and 12 in the House of Representatives when he steps down at the end of his current term.
This would have been a tough seat for Democrats to defend even with Dorgan on the ballot and is perhaps a boon to Republicans looking to eat into Democrats’ majorities in 2010.
