From Metzenbaum to Portman: Ohio election battles for 'open' U.S. Senate seats


But this would not be the first time an “open” Senate seat from Ohio created turmoil within the state’s two leading political parties. Portman’s decision will be the fifth time since 1970 that an incumbent U.S. senator from Ohio chose not to seek re-election. Here’s what happened during those previous elections.
1970: Glenn vs. Metzenbaum: The beginning of a legendary feud
U.S. Senator Stephen Young was 81 years old in 1970, and his decision not to seek re-election was hardly a surprise. While Young was an unabashed liberal, he had earned the ire of the Kennedy family for his outspokenness and love of controversy, and U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy encouraged astronaut John Glenn to challenge Young in the 1964 Democratic primary. ....

What Is Happening to the Republicans?


Save this story for later.
One of the oldest imperatives of American electoral politics is to define your opponents before they can define themselves. So it was not surprising when, in the summer of 1963, Nelson Rockefeller, a centrist Republican governor from New York, launched a preëmptive attack against Barry Goldwater, a right-wing Arizona senator, as both men were preparing to run for the Presidential nomination of the Republican Party. But the nature of Rockefeller’s attack was noteworthy. If the G.O.P. embraced Goldwater, an opponent of civil-rights legislation, Rockefeller suggested that it would be pursuing a “program based on racism and sectionalism.” Such a turn toward the elements that Rockefeller saw as “fantastically short-sighted” would be potentially destructive to a party that had held the White House for eight years, owing to the popularity of Dwight Eisenhower, but had been languishing in the minority in Congress for the better part of three decad ....

Though she had been acting for over two decades prior, Brennan reached her widest acclaim in 1980’s Private Benjamin (and the 1981 CBS TV spin-off  of the same name) as Capt.

The series was cancelled in 1983, after Brennan was forced to leave the show after being struck by a car and critically wounded in Venice, CA.
