I think that John Thune will run in South Dakota. But he's sure taking his time about it. He needs to get off his duff and start raising money. In Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson is definitely out of the running. I think the best Republicans can do there is Congressman John Boozman. In California, the latest buzz is regarding Congressman David Dreier, who is sitting on $2.6 million in cash-on-hand. That money is instant credibility. But in North Dakota, no one prominent will run against Byron Dorgan, whose approval rating is 78%. Enough said.

Asa Hutchinson is out. Mike Huckabee is out. Any word on Lt-Gov. Rockerfeller? If not, then Blanche Lincoln is getting a free ride in 2004.

I'm actually becoming more convinced that Thune will not run for the Senate again. I think he's either going to try to regain his House seat or sit out 2004. That's just speculation on my part, though.
