Senator Dorgan to Free Himself From Consequences This Year
Senator Byron Dorgan has announced he’ll be retiring from the Senate after this term. That’s good and bad news.
The good news is that it’s effectively one more Democrat down. The bad news? Dorgan just freed himself from electoral consequences for his remaining time in the Senate. He can now vote any way he wishes, and given the nightmare legislation coming down the pike, that’s not a good thing.
Think liberals gone wild. No, he’s not a “moderate”. There are no “moderate” Democrats.
It’s still a net plus, all things considered. Things like this have to happen if we wanted the libs gone and a chance for some real leadership. It’s just that the state of transition is going to be rough. It’s good riddance to Dorgan, but 2010 just got that much more wild.
