Here is speculation from a commenter at the Swing State Project, bad writing and all:
[I hear] That John Thune and Rounds are going to switch in 2010. John Thune originally wanted to be Governor in 2002, but got convinced to run for Senate. He lost by 286 votes, and then ran against Dachle, beating him by 1500 votes. But, I my take is that he still wants to be Governor. all the giant slaying attention has gotten to his had and increased his ambition. He, I think, wants to get into the Presidency some day, and he would have a stronger resume if was both Governor and Senator, governor when he runs. Rounds is also ambitious, and a crusader for Republican beliefs. He's made it no real secret that he wants to get into the senate. we might be able to challenge him with Stephanie Herseth, a very powerful candidate. But, then we'd have to defend her.
Proving once again that the internet is always right.
