Sad, he's one of the few Senators who is any good. His successor will be nowhere as good.

I was expecting him to run again, but I can see why he's retiring. He was very frustrated that the Senate leadership punted on filibuster reform.


Yep.  That's what I was planning to say too.  I am not surprised at all to hear this.
Harkin is a good guy and he will be missed.  I am however optimistic that the Democrats can keep the seat.

He was also upset about the fiscal cliff capitulation.
