Earl Pomeroy – who was as untouchable as Jim Oberstar two years ago – is out in North Dakota.
He lost 55-45 to Chris Berg – no relation that I know of, although I hope to run that down soon. And with that, North Dakota – which has been represented entirely by Democrats in DC since the eighties – is suddenly 2/3 Republican, and Kent Conrad has got to be sizing up lobbying as a career change.
We shocked the world.
