Retirements continue

With democrats retiring from Congress, Senate, and State Houses 2010 is looking like democrats are running scared. Many times even in a tidal wave election most governors can survive. Generally governors can distance themselves from the national party and focus on state issues to help them. With Colorado governor Bill Ritter retiring it looks like democrats are truly scared about 2010. However with Ritter out and popular Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper in the race the democrats chances have increased.

In Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is in a dead-heat with state senator Scott Brown (R). Does brown have a real chance of winning the seat of the the "Liberal Lion" maybe. Republicans already feel that they have won, since they are forcing democrats to spend money in what should be a safe seat.
