Hastert Officially Resigns
Former Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-IL) is a member of Congress no more. Hastert sent his letter of resignation yesterday, officially taking effect late last night.
The resignation was timed so that the special primary will take place on February 5, coinciding with the presidential primary — and more importantly, so that the general election couldn't take place on February 5, which would have given an edge to Democrats in light of the candidacy of favorite son Barack Obama.

There already has been a poll of this race released last week that confirms it will be very difficult -- though not impossible -- for Democrats.

as long as Hasterts gone,who cares who gets that seat.
Hastert was just a front man for the republicans and a new republican could no way be as bad...least,I hope not.
And I am a 42 year democrat.Would love to see a democrat get that seat,but anyone but Hastert...

Meat-based products beware Hastert has more free eating time . . . Here is to hoping that Hastert keeps up the tradition of only collecting EIGHTEEN retirement checks . . .
