Two GOP US Senators will not be working in Congress for too much longer. One, of course, is leaving at a time of his choosing and with his dignity fully intact. John Warner of Virginia announced his decision to not seek reelection in 2008. He has been more critical than most GOP politicians of President Bush's handling of the war, so without a fear of losing an election, Warner may feel even more free from political restraints.
Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho is leaving by September 30, 2007 for completely different reasons. Here's how his exit was forced upon him.
With perhaps some irony, the Senate seat surrounded in scandal is the one more likely - almost certainly - to remain Republican, even after 2008 elections.
