Kathleen Parker says that pubbies will have a harder time in reclaiming the House .. rumor is that 10 house republicans will be announcing they will not be running for reelection

How sad that only 10 of over 200 politicians from one party have indicated that they will voluntarily practice term limits. I would also guess that the implication is that less than 10 politicians are not planning on keeping their career positions in place.

With a viable term limits program with a 6-term, 12-year maximum, there should be at least 75 retiring members of the US House. Are media types are worried because 10 are retiring and that could affect the make up of the house?

A Republican contingent in the House which remembers the contract with America should have at least 35 new faces on the ballot in 2008. Since the Democrats would only be interested in a Contract On America, I would not expect them to be concerned.
