Here’s best news I’ve heard all day: Kit Bond is retiring. The four-term senator has had a stranglehold on the seat, but by stepping down, he’s creating a wide-open race. There’s no obvious successor, which could make for a crowded (and hopefully ugly) Republican primary. The top contender on the Democratic side is probably Robin Carnahan, though it, too, is a pretty wide-open race. Should be fun to see how this one shapes up.
