I have a question that you have no reason to know the answer to, but I will ask anyway.
Txsleuth brought up the amendment to the spending bill that was placed there to bury the IRS report. The guy that introduced that amendment was Dorgan out of ND. Dorgan generally gets reelected in landslide there.
However, I remember hearing that when W came to Fargo in 2002, 90,000 people showed up. Word has it that it completely shocked him. 90,000 is a lot of people, and the number came from a Democrat that was very well placed.
ND is very, very red. Is there anyone you know of left in ND that could run and win vs. Dorgan?
Dorgan has moved permanently to DC, and has spent his entire professional life in office, either in the state house, Congress, or Senate. He wrote 90 checks in the House Banking Scandal. Had to let the maid go when the Zoey Baird thing hit the papers.
How vulnerable is he?
I know next to nothing about North Dakota, except Thune and Daschle.
But I do know taht Byron Dorgan and Jack Reed are her lapdogs. She virtually never goes anywhere without Reed.
And even though she's been asked to repeatedly, she refuses to release her Secret Service detail while she's up on Capital Hill; she uses them to run her errands and keep the great unwashed masses away from her.
