Hastert purged himself. He's not running for leadership again and may resign entirely from Congress shortly.

I don't know the demographics of Hastert's district, but I would hate to see him lose the House altogether. As ineffective of speaker I think he was, him resigning just opens the door to a Democrat taking his seat, putting us in a bigger hole to make up in 2008.

You know, the only way Bush is going to get any appointment to the court is to go through Reid now. Maybe Bush better get a list of moderate judges who are pro-life (being Mormon is now a plus) for Steven's seat as well as important federal openings.
