Resigning the Speakership is one thing, resigning from Congress entirely is another. Has Boehner fallen so badly in his own home district to prompt this, or is something else at play? It concerns me, what is in store, if Boehner has nothing to lose, and now he doesn’t.
My thoughts exactly. Oct 31 is still plenty of time to inflict maximum damage.

Yes there is something else at play. Boehner wants to spend most of his time now in Florida, in his new Condo somewhere near Marco Island on the West Coast, and sunbathe himself pure orange while drinking at the local pubs he has already been seen at with some frequency. I think it is as simple as that.
Well, it would only reduce his potential salary as a high-paid lobbyist if he went back to being a backbencher for a while. Better to quit the game while still the reigning champion.
