Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) has announced that he will not seek re-election next year. New Mexico has become a competitive state in recent years; if Gov. Bill Richardson doesn't win the Democratic nomination for President, he would seem to be a strong candidate. And with the nomination being so front-loaded, Richardson is likely to have time to shift gears if he decides to go for the Senate.
Domenici is the fifth Repub senator to announce that he is retiring, making it even more likely that Democrats will maintain, and even expand their majority.
(Update: TPM's Election Central has a rundown of potential candidates for the seat.)
