I have it on pretty good authority that North Dakota state Representative Duane DeKrey of Pettibone will be announcing his intention to seek the NDGOP's nomination to run against Earl Pomeroy on Friday.

Just a rumor at this point, but I'm about 90% positive that's what will be happening.

From what I know of DeKrey he'll make a much better candidate than Ian Karvo who is also seeking the nomination. Nothing against Karvo personally, I just get the feeling that he's all talk and no substance. The "issues" portion of his website reads like nothing more than a bunch of strung together buzzwords and his campaign, on the whole, has made me think of the words "amateur hour" more than anything else.

DeKrey is an experienced politician and will make a much better challenger for Pomeroy. Karvo will hopefully get some experience under his belt and try again in the future.
