MSNBC: Ed Schultz says he has been asked to run for Dorgan's Senate seat in North Dakota!

[flpoljunkie]

He say he's not considering it at this point altho he thinks the Governor has some vulnerabilities. He also noted he has worked long and hard to get where he is in his broadcasting career.

4. Is MSNBC being sold of by GE, and Ed keeps your option open. n/t

[Botany]

5. Ed lives in Minnesota ... this is a non story.

Even if Ed moved there now he would not meet the residency to be a senator from N. Dakota.

6. He said so as well on his show yesterday, that he couldn't meet the

residency requirement. I think this is a false rumor.

11. He said this morning he has discovered he does.

[Cleita]

13. Then he should run.

He has a good chance of winning and he's displayed a definite pull to the left since he's been on the air the last six years.

7. Ugh! I hate Schultz. nt

8. I LOVE him. He fights for the PEOPLE. He has been a persistent voice in the health care debate.

He's got big ones, too.

[Captain Hilts]

9. I'm glad to hear he's been leaning on folks in the HCR debate. nt

[Armstead]

10. He also pointed out that he lives in Minnesota

He doesn't fit the five year residency requirement.

[quiller4]

12. He hasn't sold his ND residence which he mentioned this AM

[chimpymustgo]

15. Worked long and hard to get where he is AND makes a

helluva lot more money.;-)
