Missouri:
Sen. Kit Bond, the senior Republican from Missouri who sits on powerful Senate committees, announced Thursday that he will not run for reelection in 2010, giving Democrats a shot to pick up a seat in a state that has emerged as a major battleground.
The announcement is a blow to Senate Republicans who now will have at least four of their incumbents seeking retirement at the end of the session, a sign that 2010 could be another tough cycle for the weakened GOP minority.
Florida:
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) announced Tuesday that he will not seek the seat of retiring Sen. Mel Martinez (R).Bush, the brother of the current president and the son of the 41st commander in chief, was thought to be perhaps the one GOP candidate who could clear the primary field for the open seat.
