Narrative
Conrad, a moderate Democrat, faces the problem of being a Democratic senator in an increasingly Republican Great Plains state, and hopes to avoid the fate of Tom Daschle. Governor John Hoeven, re-elected by a 43-point margin in 2004, has been courted by President Bush to challenge Conrad, and would have been a formidable opponent. Hoeven, however, has declined to run, and Conrad is expected to cruise to reelection.
