Hmm. Rep. Earl Pomeroy, Democrat of North Dakota, suggests he may be thinking about retirement after all.

A former foe of Pomeroy’s, Kevin Cramer, just announced he’s running for the seat. While Cramer lost to Pomeroy twice in the 1990s, in 2004 he was elected to the North Dakota Public Service Commission with 65 percent of the vote. So he seems to like his chances this year.
