Wow. It's been perfectly obvious for some time that a lot of Republicans don't like serving in the minority in Congress and are choosing to leave rather than seek reelection. Still, it's rather big news when my old congressman, the top Republican on Ways and Means, chooses to retire. The Republicans not only don't expect to win the majority back in 2008, it looks like they doubt their ability to win it back for some time to come.
