U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan, a Democrat from North Dakota, says he will not seek re-election to the Senate in 2010, a surprise announcement that could give Republicans an opportunity to pick up a seat from the Republican-leaning state.

Jendrysik is Chair of the Department of Political Science & Public Administration at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks.
