What's this all about? After declaring for re-election, even running re-election TV ads, the Republican governor of Missouri, Roy Blunt, has suddenly announced he's not running for re-election. it was a surprise to the party, even his own campaign staff. Is there a scandle brewing in MO for the Republican party? Political pundits had expected the balance of governors to stay pretty much the same. This may give the Dems a chance to pick up one.

And NY Republican Congressman Jim Walsh has announced his retirement. He's the 21st Republican representative not to seek reelection in 2008. That district is winable for the Dems.
