News out tonight that Democratic Senator Byron Dorgan will not seek reelection in 2010, which apparently caught just about everyone by surprise. Dorgan's retirement means that the Republicans will be heavily favored to pick up the seat this November.
While the Dems almost certainly won't lose control over the upper chamber this cycle, their House majority looks iffy at best. If the Democrats were to lose control of one (or both) wings of Congress, President Obama will have a very difficult time moving his agenda forward over the last two years of his term.
