#1 Is it a blow or an opportunity?

#3 I may be in the minority but I am not sad to see most of these Senators retire. Conservatives need to inject some new (younger) blood into thier ranks. If Voinovich (Crybaby-Ohio) represnts the best we can offer in Ohio then we don't deserved that seat.

#4 My understanding is that he was planning all along to retire after this term. I heard that just after the '04 election from someone who was in a position to know.

#5 Gang of 14 Voinovich will not be missed except by the dems.

#6 They are assuming that in 2010 people will still be happy with Obama. In case they aren't a monkey will be able to carry the seat provided it is not a Democrat.

#7 We've got lots of monkeys here in Ohio, JFM. ;-) The Cincinnati Zoo is famed in the profession as a breeder of monkeys (as well as everything else).

#8 Well, the party in power will own whatever is happening, whether it is their fault or not.

The bad economy will still be around in 2010. We'll see how badly the public is pissed about it then.
