In some instances, folks who would have been strong replacements are not stepping up because they can read the handwriting on the wall. And some of that handwriting is shown in the liquidity positions of the NRCC and NRSC.

Granted, they might not have beaten you over the head with it, but The Liberal Media has duly noted every Republican who has announced his/her resignation from the House (27 at the moment, IIRC) and pointed out the running total, and compared it with the Dems (only a handful won't run for re-election, every one because of a run for higher office). For the Senate, I've seen numerous stories looking at its likely makeup in the next Congress, with most observers pegging the likely number of Democrats at 55. The story I saw last week noted that, with such a safe majority, the Democrats will have the option -- one they'll likely take -- of booting Joe Lieberman out of their caucus. Maybe you're referring only to the talking heads on TV, but the print media have not ignored these stories. DV: Not true.
