Former Republican congressman Rob Portman will announce that he is running for the Senate soon after Ohio Sen. George Voinovich’s retirement announcement, according to multiple Republican sources.

Portman's official announcement is expected to take place on Wednesday.

I wrote Voinovich a letter on the Senate Immigration Bill fiasco from a couple of years ago.

I guess he was out golfing or being entertained by yet another lobbyist.

Good riddance.

George, you are a RINO and a disgrace to conservatism. Don't go away mad, just go away.
