Voinovich (R-OH): Yes I'm Running! :(

Voinovich: Yes, I'm running! I'm not kidding.




There has been considerable buzz in Ohio Republican circles for the past few years now that Sen.George Voinovich would hang it up two years from now and retire.






After all, he's been in one elective office or another for over 40 years now - from the Ohio House to Cuyahoga County auditor to Cuyahoga County commissioner to lieutenant governor to Cleveland mayor to Ohio governor and, since 1998, in the U.S. Senate.
That's a whole lot of campaigns; and one could not blame a fellow who turns 72 in July if he wanted to just chuck it all, spend time with the grandkids and go fishing, which he likes to do a lot.
So, Monday, when Voinovich showed up at the Enquirer editorial board to talk politics and policy, we quite naturally asked him if he really intends to run for a third term in 2010.

must be an ego thing, too.

because an Ohio Democrat is going to take it AWAY!

His grandkids ...if they have any sense they won't even go fishing with him. This man cries for the cameras and then in the dark of the room votes against his own grandchildren and their futures. I will never forget or forgive him for his Bolton theatrics. Bring it on George we will be ready with someone who will speak for the people. Now...let me tell you how I really feel! Peace, Kim

forewarned is forearmed :)
