More Rumors Sen. Voinovich May Retire
Posted:
01/9/09
Yesterday, I reported to you that rumors were coming out of Ohio that Sen. George Voinovich may not run for re-election. Late last night, The Columbus Dispatch confirmed this is being discussed:

WASHINGTON -- Sen. George V. Voinovich reportedly is considering not seeking re-election in 2010, well-placed sources in the Republican Party tell The Dispatch.
Although Ohio GOP Chairman Robert T. Bennett insisted tonight that Voinovich would run for another term, one senior GOP official said Voinovich has told his staff, "I'm running, but I might not run."
Another Republican source, who spoke only on the condition he not be identified, said Voinovich has shuffled his fundraising team. The source said the 72-year-old senator appears to be sending signals that he might not run for a third term.
This would be bad news in the sense that this would be one more Republican senate seat up-for-grabs in a swing state (Jeb Bush won't run for Sen. Mel Martinez's seat in Florida and Kit Bond is retiring in Missouri). But it's also a chance for Rob Portman to run for senate. This would avoid a nasty primary battle, as well, and clear a path for John Kasich to be the GOP nominee for governor.

Sarah Palin is right again. The media has crawled into snake hole again for the sake of the Senate candidate for New York. Certainly the snakes are still not shedding their skin of full blown bias. They are cowards and traitors still.

Caroline would be a shoo-in in Illinois. They would fatten her up with pork there as well as food.

Sarah Palin continues to impress with accurate assessment of Fey and Couric and her feisty attitude. She is the most refreshing face in Politics today by far. Go get all the gutless wonders of TV and the Left.

"I'm running, but I might not run"?????????????? Is there something wrong with the water in Wshington, D.C. or are all our elected officials a few fries short of a "happy meal"?

Bad news for who?
If you're impressed by Palin, you might not be smarter than a fifth grader either.

Too many republicans now in office. They would rather bring down this great country than try to fix what is wrong. We need NONE.

I laugh at all these republicans praising Sarah Palin. She's one of the biggest idiots to come down the pike in a long time. I never thought they could come up with anybody dumber than Bush but they proved me wrong.

As a republican in Ohio, I say "Yipeeee! See ya, George." Maybe now we can elect a conservative to replace a RINO. For you libs who think Palin is an idiot, you just keep underestimating and those like her.

the biggest idiot here is lil osammmy obammmie or anyone that voted for him but only the dumbest of the dump will take more than just a few short weeks to learn so if you havent learned yet guess where that leaves you? oh well just a few more short days to blame ol g.w. so get it out of your system because you aint going to like the next 4 years and hearing how awful your piece of sh!t boy (with a lil b) is doing in a job where he had none and wont be able to get any experience. have a good day meat heads and enjoy your oobammmie sandwich while it still smells good. the stink coming from that office will turn your stomach in short time.
