WASHINGTON — Rep. David Hobson, a nine-term Republican from Ohio, announced plans to retire Sunday, the 12th member of his party to do so since the beginning of the year.Sweet!! Twelve Repignicans have seen the handwriting on the wall leading up to next years resounding and overwhelming removal of their ilk from the Congress.
"I wanted to go out on top," said Hobson, who said his health is good. He would have faced token opposition at best had he sought a new term.
Hopefully the House will have a 435 - 0 Democratic majority in the next session. If Repignicans keep squealing their way out of re-election attempts like this we may very well reach that desired majority.
Is it November 2008 yet?
