Mark Dayton Not Seeking Re-Election in 2006

Egads! It’s in the Star Tribune Online, so it must be true:

Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., said today that he will not run for re-election in 2006.

Dayton made the announcement this afternoon in a telephone conference call with reporters.

“I do not believe that I am the best candidate to lead the DFL Party to victory next year,” Dayton said.

There is already a lot of competition for this U.S. Senate seat, including Mark Kennedy. The question now is, who will step up to the plate for the Domocratic Party? My money is on seeing Tim Penny return to the DFL and run.
