I presume that Bingaman will seek reelection yet again. Is there any chance that he will retire?
DemonRats never retire, even when ill — look at Kennedy and Byrd — in there until their death bed. On the other hand Republican’s like Domenici (yes he is a moderate but not a RINO) retired when his health got to the point that he didn’t think he could do the job and wanted to spend time with his family.
