Tom Davis’s (R-Va.) retirement announcement on Wednesday is a stinging blow to a party that has had five House members reveal over the last week that the 110th Congress will be their last. Davis’s decision is perhaps their biggest loss this cycle out of 28 vacancies — given his swing district, campaigning acumen and policy experience. President Bush won Davis’s district 50-49 percent in 2004. The departing Republicans have now eclipsed the number of Democrats who left the House the cycle after they lost power in 1994. According to the House historian, 25 Democrats left office in 1995 and 1996. A giddy Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a release Wednesday asking, “Who will be the 29th House Republican to retire? Will [Thursday’s Federal Election Commission] reports provide any new clues?”----

Divided into five basic echelons based on intolerant belief systems and everyone fighting the other with no decent candidates and the ones who are in office are bailing. What did I say months ago? Good morning Madame President and VP Obama - and we did it to ourselves.
