Just heard on CNN that Ben Nighthorse Campbell won't seek reelection.

I'm prepared to gloat but I'm holding back because I didn't hear why. If it's because of his health problems then I won't gloat because that's mean. Does anyone know anything about this?

9. Cherokees traditionally hate Dems

Because Andrew Jackson was a Democrat.

Having said that, my mother's side of the family is Oklahoma Cherokee and I think any one of them would burst into flames before voting Republican.

I think it's excellent news, but apparently nobody else at DU cares much. Not many replies. Too busy crying about being those oh' so forgotten southerners and all.:eyes:

4. I won't miss Senator Campbell.

His defection to the Republicans lost me and lost me good.

Adios, Ben & watch that screen door.

5. Just wondering...

... with Campbell out, will Udall or Hart decide to jump in?

And have the Republicans floated any replacement names?

I would love to see this seat go Democratic.
