No real loss. He probably feels guilty about his stance on the illegal alien amnesty bill a few years back and is finally ready to do the right thing and step down. The nation will be better for his decision.

No loss at all. Bye-Bye mel hello Charlie

I was gonna say....somehow Charlie is in this mix...although I thought he'd be up for a senatorial seat.....HOR is a little too low class for an ex gov.

See, unlike the Dems who will take anything (and I mean ANYTHING!) that can vote, the Rep are not afraid to weed the garden!!
