Washington Post reports this news breaker on Sr. Senator Kent Conrad (D) North Dakota
"North Dakota Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad announced
today that he will not seek reelection, creating a potentially prime
pickup opportunity for Republicans in a GOP-leaning state."
"After months of consideration, I have decided
not to seek reelection in 2012," Conrad said in a letter to
constituents. "There are serious challenges facing our State and nation,
like a $14 trillion debt and America's dependence on foreign oil. It is
more important I spend my time and energy trying to solve these
problems than to be distracted by a campaign for reelection."
