Very unexpected news coming from North Dakota. I’m shocked.
We need to find a candidate for this race immediately. Is anyone familiar with ND politics? Are there any other statewide officeholders besides Earl Pomeroy who may run?
And does anyone know what the chances of Hoeven jumping in are? There are a lot of questions to be answered regarding ND-Sen
UPDATE

Looks like Hoeven will run. I’d say our chances of holding this are less than 1% 🙁 even if Pomeroy runs.
Despite North Dakota’s Republican lean, ND is represented by two Democratic Senators, and a Democratic Rep. Dorgan has been a reliable Democratic vote (much more so than his counterpart, Conrad) on most major Democratic initiatives over his many years in the Senate.
While we would all love for him to stay, we need to find a candidate ASAP!
Earl Pomeroy sounds good on paper, but does anyone know what his chances would be if he switched to a Senate Race? Or any possible competition besides sitting Governor Hoeven?
