NoDak's Dorgan won't seek reelection

The Hill:

In a move that will rock the 2010 Senate landscape, Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) unexpectedly announced Tuesday evening that he will not seek reelection.

Dorgan, who is in his third term and has been in Congress for three decades, said in a statement that he is moving on to pursue other interests.

“I have written two books and have an invitation from a publisher to write two more books,” Dorgan said. “I would like to do some teaching and would also like to work on energy policy in the private sector.”

Dorgan’s exit comes as Republicans have toyed with pursuing a run against him. Gov. John Hoeven (R) has polled wide leads in some surveys of the race, but had yet to publicly indicate his interest. And, barring Hoeven’s candidacy, Dorgan was a good bet for reelection.

...
I think the polling told him it was time to move on. I hope Hoeven will get in the race. We need to pick up as many seats as possible to halt the evils of liberalism.
