Good riddance. Some may worry that we’ll wind up with a second Dem senator, but since Voinovich already votes like a Dem, it’s better to have a real one in there and let the Dems take the blame for bad policy.
Or, we get a conservative replacement for years to come. The Dems had one lucky election cycle in ‘06 because of Taft and RINOs (and their brethren Dems) in DC screwing everything up. Now the rats are in charge and they will be held accountable. 2010 is winnable.
