Domenici would be the fifth Republican senator to decline to seek a new term, giving Democrats an opportunity to expand their majority in the 2008 elections. GOP Sens. John Warner of Virginia, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Larry Craig of Idaho and Wayne Allard of Colorado have previously announced plans not to run again.
The magic number is 60. 60 Democrats in the Senate would be the deciding number. Even if these 5 seats were to go to Democrats, they would still be around 56 and one of those is that "Senator" from Connecticut - Democrat in name but worse than Bush in action.
