Ohio Senator George Voinovich has announced that he will not seek a third term. The 72-year old Senator and former two-term Governor is the fourth Republican incumbent to announce that they will retire rather than run for re-election in 2010. Florida’s Mel Martinez, Kansas’ Sam Brownback and Missouri’s Kit Bond have previously made such announcements.
In an earlier post, I reviewed potential candidates for the Democratic Party. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, Lt. Governor Lee Fisher and Rep. Tim Ryan top the list of potential nominees. Former Rep. Rob Portman, who served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget for a year during the current administration, is viewed as a frontrunner to run on the Republican side.
