Bill Raggio, announced his resignation yesterday after serving 38 years as state senator. In the last election his across-the-aisle endorsement of Harry Reid (D) over Sharron Angle (R) in the U.S. senate race caused outcry among republicans.

Two articles:

Bill Raggio, Sharron Angle, and Harry Reid: Endorsement is Petty Revenge

Meet Bill Raggio, the tax-raising unpopular Republican state senator in Nevada who endorsed Sharron Angle’s even more unpopular rival in the U.S. Senate race, Harry Reid. Raggio is apparently carrying out a petty personal vendetta against Sharron Angle for mounting a 2008 primary challenge against him in his district, and then a recall campaign the next year.

Bill Raggio, Nevada's longest-serving senator, resigns

In a brief, three paragraph letter to the Washoe County Commission, Sen. Bill Raggio, R-Reno, announced Wednesday he will resign the Nevada Senate effective Jan. 15.

Raggio, first elected 38 years ago, has served longer in the Nevada Senate than anyone in state history.

The Washoe County Commission will appoint his successor in Senate District 3, which represents west Reno, the north valleys, Verdi and part of rural Washoe County.

What's the skuttlebutt? Who's going to get the appointment?
