This isn’t “breaking”, it was already announced last night.

You can sure tell he’s had 26 years of practice slinging the bull, can’t you?

[neverdem]

Out with the old ping!

[cripplecreek]

Not exactly breaking but worthy of discussion.

About 24 hours ago, "Rep. McCotter resigns after ‘nightmarish’ month and a half", just searched on "McCotter" in titles.

Thanks for reposting, since I didn't see the first thread. But "Breaking" it's not.

26 years. Michigan is in a mess the U.S. is in trouble and he finally throws his hands up and goes home.

smh

Lets hope he can see clearly now.

Sorry, but what are the problems he is referring to?

[ImpBill]

I thought he was a prett cool guy. Saw him perform with Mike Hucabee. Had some great guitar riffs. I think he simply got sick of the process in D.C.!

"To those who unhappy at this news, I'm sorry; to those happy at this news, you're welcome," he said.

[eddie willers]

The little I have seen of McCotter, he has impressed the hell out of me.

Why is it that the good are either driven out or deterred from running?

""I and a lot of Republicans I know won't vote for a tea party guy," said attorney David Zacks of Bloomfield Hills, strolling past the expensive boutique shops of downtown Birmingham"

Another Roberts Republican.

[no dems]

Something fishy here.

Kerry Bentivolio sounds like he would make an excellent Representative.

Something is not right in River city...

[Liberty Valance]

He seems to have been in complete meltdown mode since the voter names petition got so screwed up. Don't know if he was sabotaged from within or if his staff was inept or if running for Prez took his eye completely off the ball. He is a solid conservative in a district with a heavy union presence. He will be missed.

U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Livonia, jams out to a Chuck Berry tune on his star-spangled Fender Telecaster shortly after he announced his candidacy for president at the WAAM Freedom Fest in Whitmore Lake on Saturday, July 2, 2011.

[fortheDeclaration]

Is he doing a ‘Tom Delay’ and his resignation going to leave the GOP without a nominee or did someone else win already win the primary?

[DTogo]

After nearly 26 years in elected office...

Dude, get a real job already!

[Impy]

This was an extremely flaky move and wastes taxpayer money by necessitating a special primary on Sept 5th for an election day special election.

I think the dude must be having some personal problems, he sounds unwell mentally.

IMHO....union/democrat “payback” for Wisconsin?

Jus a hunch....
