Hastert to retire

Well it appears another republican is about to bite the dust. Former Speaker of the House and Illinois congressman, Dennis Hastert, is expected to announce his retirement from Congress this weekend at a press conference. While this may not seem like anything significant, its another congressional seat that the democrats are going to be looking to grab in '08 and another district where the republicans will have to be on the defense instead of on the offensive.

I'll be back with a blog post this weekend on his press conference and what it means for the GOP.
