Will Sen. Kit Bond run for re-election in 2010? If he retires, who's the frontrunner G.O.P. open-seat candidate?From The Hotline:
A DC-based Dem strategist "speculated" that Sec/State Robin Carnahan (D) might challenge Sen. Kit Bond (R) when Bond's seat comes up for re-election in 2010. Another Dem mentioned as a possible Bond challenger is Jackson Co. Exec. Mike Sanders (D). GOPers "say Bond is unlikely to face a primary challenge. But if he chose to retire, the names mentioned as possible GOP open-seat candidates" include ex-Sen. Jim Talent (R), Rep. Sam Graves (R-06), and Rep. Kenny Hulshof (R-09). "And if there's one thing MO's residents have shown in recent years, it's that no incumbent is safe there." A MO-based GOP strategist: "I consider all of our (Democratic House) seats safe, just as I consider all of their seats safe" (Drucker, Roll Call, 2/13).
