GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter Won't Seek Reelection

Hard-core conservative GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter won't seek reelection -- clearing the way for his 30-year-old son to inherit the seat (presuming that's okay with the district's voters, of course). Hunter the Elder's spokesperson confirmed to The Hill that he won't be running again, and his kid -- an Iraq war veteran whose name is also Duncan Hunter -- told the paper that he'd be announcing his candidacy sometime in April.

Excuse me, when did we give up democracy for an inherited aristocracy? Did I miss that memo?

My feeling exactly. One very good reason to never elect another Bush or Clinton again to the Presidency, BTW.

Sorry. Two talented people marrying each other doesn't qualify.

Shall we refer to him as Mi'Lord Hunter?
