Expect Bingaman to announce 2012 plans in March

[ccharles000]

There’s lots of talk about whether U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., is going to seek another term in 2012, but his spokeswoman says he’s not likely to make an announcement until late winter – probably in March.

“That’s what we fully expect him to do,” Bingaman spokeswoman Jude McCartin said today. She noted that Bingaman has typically made re-election announcements around that time in the past.

Politico reported today that Bingaman is “weighing retirement,” but it didn’t cite a source or quote Bingaman or anyone close to the senator. Others have speculated that Bingaman will seek another term.

McCartin pointed out that Bingaman held a campaign fundraiser last month and raised about $400,000.

I don't think he should retire, but if his heart isn't in it anymore someone else should get a shot.
