My favorite senator has announced that he will retire at the end of 2014.

Law

Very sad. He was and is, in my opinion, the best and the brightest.

    Yes, he’s one of the best. He will be sorely missed.

    Scary that if Mitch McConnell runs again, he’ll likely face a primary challenge from the right. I wonder who is in the bullpen in Iowa to replace Harkin? We can’t afford to lose the Senate.
    Here in NC, Kay Hagan is vulnerable because she’s a Blue Dog, and two state legislators are salivating already, Republicans, of course.
