"Republican Sen. John Warner of Virginia, one of the most authoritative voices in Congress on the military and a key figure in the debate over Iraq, said Friday he will not seek a sixth term in 2008.
Warner, 80, has held the seat since 1978, when the dashing former Navy secretary campaigned alongside his wife at the time, Elizabeth Taylor. His retirement offers Democrats a valuable opportunity to take the seat from the GOP and expand their one-seat Senate majority."
While the republican Craig in Idaho leaving will not probably mean a change in the seat from republican to democrate,the dems will have a very good chance to pick up Warner's seat in Va.Then with a new Democratic president and more dems in house and senate we can finally get some movement on getting out of Iraq and as well as hopefully some progress on a new progressive agenda for America.
