The Political Blog For Cynical Millennials: Bye, Bye Voinovich, Hello Democrats!
http://the800lbsgorilla.blogspot.com/2009/01/bye-bye-voinovich-hello-democrats.html

He went to my high school, though much older than me, and I have encountered him many times. He's arrogant, not an intellectual and just a corny white boy from a large Democratic district. Voinovich retirement could set up tough primaries. Contributed by Reid Wilson. 01/12/09 10:13 AM [ET]. Voinovich, the 72...
