Word is leaking out that Dennis Hastert will announce his retirement on Friday. There are even some rumors that he will not fill-out his term.
The expected retirement of former House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert from Illinois’ 14th District will serve as a test of Republican strength in predominantly suburban and exurban districts that have long been GOP bailiwicks. Whether or not the Democrats take over this seat, the departure of Hastert nearly completes the job of ridding the Congress of the Republican's political leadership during the Bush/Rove era. With Frist, Santorum, DeLay, and Hastert gone, only Mitch McConnell will remain. And he may not survice the '08 election. In fact, I predict he won't survive it. It will be interesting to see if Trent Lott resumes his leadership position, or if some other Republican will rise to the top. This is another legacy of Rove. Total decimation of the party.
