Heath Shuler, the popular Democratic congressman from N.C.’s 11th district, takes himself out of the running for Senate in 2010. Maybe, according to UNC Asheville political scientist Bill Sabo, because Shuler ?thinks 2010 is not going to be a good year for Democrats.”
Meanwhile, in yesterday’s Under the Dome, we find out why the giggly Nancy Pelosi hates Heath even more than she loathes Rush Limbaugh:
Shuler beats out conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Republican Rep. Eric Cantor and another Blue Dog Democrat, Rep. Jim Cooper, for the top spot on Pelosi’s list.
Granted, Nancy has some good reasons to dislike Shuler — namely, that he didn’t drink the bailout kool-aid.
