Lautenberg of NJ is 86 and has stomach cancer. But he intends to hold on to his seat, and will probably run for another term in 2014 if he's still breathing. If ever a Senator needed to retire or be replaced it's that old ultra-liberal dirtbag. One good thing will come from his cancer, Reid will only have 58 votes while Lautenberg is being treated for his cancer and not in the Senate to vote.
Although, after my son was stricken with cancer 2 years ago I don't wish that awful disease on anyone, not even a far-left Democrat Senator.
