U.S. Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio is leaving open the possibility of not running for re-election in 2010.
Voinovich, 72, is thinking about the challenging economic situation in Ohio, the direction of the country, and the best interests of his family, said spokesman Chris Paulitz.
The senator would let the people of Ohio know quickly if he decides not to seek a third term, Paulitz said.

Now Voinovich Would Be Good To Get Rid Of
IJB Friday, January 9th at 7:31PM EST (link)My guess is that GOP prospects will brighten considerably in OH by 2010, and replacing Voinovich with someone who’s at least semi-conservative would be a definite improvement.
Voinovich I won’t miss…
Voinovich retire?

I fear what 60 seats in Dems hands will do.
They don't need 60.
mbecker908 (Diary) Sunday, January 11th at 8:21PM EST (link)Hell, 55 is more than enough and they could probably get by very well with 52. See the cloture vote today. Eleven Rs voted Yea. And there will be no penalty for any of them.
NBC reporting he is retiring
