Obviuosly knew he was going to be out on his ear in 12.
Who is there to run in ND? My minds gone blank.
haha the Dems want to run Earl Pomeroy in 12.
Conrad obviously think running with Obama on ticket in 12 severely kills him off. He’d be right.
North Dakota has a new lieutenant governor, Drew Wrigley, who is young, accomplished, ambitious-—and ready to go.
He’s a North Dakota native who attended law school in D.C. I think-—Georgetown maybe? his wiki entry is deliberately vague about that stuff-—and has worked for federal prosecutors and federal judges I believe.
He was appointed LG after then-Governor John Hoeven (a rino) whipped the sitting Dem senator Byron Dorgan (an out-and-out commie) in the 2010 election. The sitting LG Jack Dalrymple (a good guy) moved into the governorship and Wrigley moved into Dalrymple’s old chair.
Wrigley would pound that musty old turd Pomeroy (an idiot who lost his congressional seat last fall) who may just be vain and foolish enough to run against him.
A former governor, Schaffer, would be a great candidate.
