Ohio Republican George Voinovich to Retire – No Loss Here
Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, is seen in Lewis Center, Ohio. Voinovich is telling associates he intends to retire rather than run again in 2010, according to officials inside the party
Flap has no use for the “RETIRING” George Voinovich and so it is no great loss to the Republican Party for him to retire.Ohio Republican George Voinovich is expected to announce Monday that he won’t seek reelection to the Senate in 2010.
A two-term senator, former governor and Cleveland mayor, Voinovich has been a political fixture in his state for decades. But recent press reports from his home state have indicated the 72-year-old lawmaker is considering retirement, and a person close to him told Politico that the announcement will come Monday.
Flap remembers the harsh treatment former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton received from Voinovich during his confirmation hearings.
Rumor is that either Republican Budget Director Rob Portman or former Congressman John Kasich will make a run for the office. Both would make great Senators, unlike Voinovich.
Good bye and good luck, Senator.
Don’t let the door hit you on the ass as you leave.

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?
