Democratic Party director resigning to work for talk show

The director of North Dakota's Democratic Party is resigning to go to work for a radio talk show.

Vern Thompson says today he's leaving at the end of the year. He will become program director for "The Ed Schultz Show."

Schultz is a liberal talk show host. He's based in Fargo and has a nationally distributed afternoon show. Schultz also has a morning talk show on Fargo's KFGO Radio.

Thompson has been the state Democratic director for almost four years. He took the job after losing a race for the state Public Service Commission in 2000.

Thompson has run twice for the PSC. He's also served in the North Dakota Legislature, as a House member and senator.
