WASHINGTON (CNN) – The decision of Rep. Jim Saxton, R-New Jersey, to retire at the end of the 110th Congress will mean that House Republicans will have at least 15 open seats to defend in 2008, compared to at least three for the Democrats. Of the 15 House Republicans who will not run for re-election next year, 11 are retiring from elective politics entirely, while four are seeking higher office. On the Democratic side, two House members are running for Senate seats, while one has announced plans to retire at the end of this term.
