He said they died quickly after retirement. I think he thinks that will happen to him. He is doing the things you do when you are running for reelection. He is raising money. He has not announced yet but I think he will run and that is the reason no one yet has announced for the position. If he runs the Tea Party will run someone against him but they have little money. He is well liked in the state by mainstream Republicans and I don't think he would be defeated.
