A 2nd Tier Race that may need to be watched.
Filing deadline is July and primary is Sept. 14, so there’s plenty of time for a Dem free for all.
It's a first tier race now.
I don't think I believe Obey that he only stayed on after 2000 because of Bush. If that was so why didn't he retire in 2008? Rather than 2010 when he faced his stiffest challenge in a long time. I think he's one of those who'd rather quit than to have to actually campaign for reelection.
Politics 1 lists a crapload of rat state legislators who are potentially interested in running in Obey's place.
