Holy Appropiations Committee Openings!

The current list of Republicans on that committee are

Thad Cochran, Ranking Member, Mississippi

Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania

Kit Bond, Missouri

Mitch McConnell, Kentucky

Richard Shelby, Alabama

Judd Gregg, New Hampshire

Robert Bennett, Utah

Kay Bailey Hutchison, Texas

Sam Brownback, Kansas

Lamar Alexander, Tennessee

George Voinovich, Ohio

Susan Collins, Maine

Lisa Murkowski, Alaska

Retirements: Bond, Gregg, Hutchinson, Brownback, Voinovich.  Specter could be defeated, and Bennett is being primaried.  That is potentially 7 openings on the committee!  Republicans are going to have a hey-day come January 2011 to see who gets to be on this committee.

On the Dem side, nobody is going anywhere.
