According to several news reports the senior senator from Ohio will announce tomorrow that he's not going to run for reelection in 2010. He'll be the fourth Republican incumber to announce that (following senators from Florida, Kansas and Missouri), and President-elect Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet. This doesn't bode well for Republicans as they try to regroup after two of the worst election cycles they've seen in decades. Apparently Lt. Governor Lee Fisher and Rep. Tim Ryan are the leading Democratic prospects, but I hope Rep. Betty Sutton jumps into the race.
