I have a feeling there will be a least some retirements in 2010 on both sides. Also even though Senators like Dodd and Specter say that they are running again I have a good feeling they won't.
Here is my list of possible retirements in 2010
Republican
George Voinovich(R-OH)
Arlen Specter(R-PA)
Chuck Grassley(R-IA)
Bob Benett(R-UT)
Kit Bond(R-MO)
John McCain(R-AZ)
Democrats
Chris Dodd(D-CT)
Pat Leahy(D-VT)
Barbara Mikulski(D-MD)
Barbara Boxer(D-CA)
Any thoughts on this?
I would say if McCain doesnt end up President, he will wont stay in his Senate seat much longer, I would doubt even until 2010....i thik he could stil step down before then to focus on the run. He doesnt want to be Senator, he wants to be President.
I wonder if Arnold running could effect Boxer's decison? I doubt it, she is a tough fighter who would love to beat back Arnold.
