Three-term Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) has announced that she will not seek re-election.

Snowe, a moderate Republican who was often a key swing
vote on partisan issues, was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1994.
She previously represented Maine's 2nd Congressional District in the
U.S. House for 16 years.

This seat was a Republican lock. Now it's become a very good pick-up opportunity for the Democrats. If the GOP were hoping to take the Senate this year, that task just got harder. Still possible if the economy tanks, but harder.
