As Allahpundit notes Dorgan was done in by his health care vote:
‘Twas ObamaCare that killed the beast. Health-care reform is radioactive in North Dakota and, thanks to his support for it, so was Dorgan: As of two weeks ago, as a three-term incumbent, he trailed the state’s Republican governor John Hoeven in a hypothetical match-up by fully 22 points.Dorgan's statement cites the length of his service and a desire to pursue other interests as reasons for his decision to retire. Let's just say the thoughts of losing after 30 years must have had a little something to do with it. This is a sure pickup for the GOP which makes today a little taste of what's to come in November. So, who's next?
