Johnny does not come marching home

Former US Sen. John E. Sununu will confirm tonight that he will not seek a vacant Senate seat in 2010, opening up a scramble for potential, Republican candidates.
Sununu, 44, lost a tight and expensive rematch to Democrat Jeanne Shaheen in 2008 and since then has landed some key appointments to corporate boards and a seat on the congressional oversight board on the TARP money.
] The Sunday Telegraph first foreshadowed this move that Sununu was not retiring but taking a haitus from electoral politics when two of his brothers and former political director decided to form their own lobbying-consulting firm.
The decision will no doubt cause some Republican heavyweights to try and convince their freshest face, Attorney General Kelly Ayotte of Nashua, to get into the 2010 Senate campaign.
Multi-millionaire investor Fred Tausch of Merrimack is a likely candidate and Manchester lawyer Ovide Lamontagne is also seriously considering a bid as is former Congressman Charles Bass.
