In a huge blow to Democrats, incumbent North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan has announced he will not seek reelection.
His statement (via the Hill):
“Although I still have a passion for public service and enjoy my work in the Senate, I have other interests and I have other things I would like to pursue outside of public life. I have written two books and have an invitation from a publisher to write two more books. I would like to do some teaching and would also like to work on energy policy in the private sector.
“So, over this holiday season, I have come to the conclusion, with the support of my family, that I will not be seeking another term in the U.S. Senate in 2010. It is a hard decision to make after thirty years in the Congress, but I believe it is the right time for me to pursue these other interests.
“Let me be clear that this decision does not relate to any dissatisfaction that I have about serving in the Senate. Yes, I wish there was less rancor and more bipartisanship in the U.S. Senate these days. But still, it is a great privilege to serve and I have the utmost respect for all of the men and women with whom I serve.
A Rasmussen poll last month found Dorgan trailing Republican North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven by a 22 points, 58%-36%.

Opine
Tenn Reps (all Dems) are also abandoning ship.
Tanner, one from the Eastern part and possibly another from the Middle Tenn districts. Unlike the above Sen. these folks are fed up with Pelosi.
There decisions are simply put. Corruption, Leftist driven agendas do not set well with Tennesseans.
