He'd probably be a strong candidate, though if Herseth runs for re-election to the House, it's gonna be an uphill battle defeating her (Nelson would be the favorite if any other RAT is the nominee). I would hope Nelson shaves the 'stash before embarking on a bid for federal office, right now he's kinda looking like Tom Dewey with glasses to me.
It's really pathetic that the Dakotas, despite going to the GOP presidential candidate by huge margins and having an all-Republican team of statewide officials, never-the-less have RATs as 5 out of 6 of their federal officials (and the one non-RAT has morphed into a big porker). They could really use a "power slate" of big name popular GOP officials for federal office to run as a team, like Mike Rounds to help carry the ticket. I doubt it will happen though.

You make a good point, but Nelson is term-limited. Even if he loses but makes a respectable showing, it’ll put him on the map, like Herseth’s strong showing against Bill Janklow in 2002 did for her.

Don’t diss the stash!
