GOP Senators Kit Bond, Mel Martinez and Now George Voinovich Set to Retire – Openings for a New Generation of GOP Senators
Posted by: Flap in Geoge Voinovich, Jim Talent, John Kasich, Kit Bond
Missouri’s senior Sen. Christopher ‘Kit’ Bond, R-Mo., addresses members of the Missouri House of Representatives Thursday, Jan. 8, 2009, in Jefferson City, Mo. Bond, 69, announced he would not seek re-election in 2010
It is time to clear out the GOP deadwood in the United States Senate and pave the way for a new generation of Republican Party leadership in the chamber.
The prospects actually look good for some decent candidates.
I am hearing rumors coming out of Ohio that Senator Voinovich is seriously considering making an announcement next week that he won’t be running for re-election. According to my sources, Rob Portman would likely be the Republican to replace him. This also opens up the GOP gubernatorial nomination for former Republican Congressman John Kasich.
Now, with a some excellent Republican candidates in California, the GOP is already looking up.
How about Nevada?
