    Damn, why can't Democrat Mitch McConnel resign? Or Lindsey Graham, or Democrat John McCain. And when will the GOP get rid of Democrat John Boehner? The GOP has more Democrats in the party, then the Democrats do.

    Democrats never resign in shame. They have none.

    In the weeks, months and years ahead I will continue to advocate for our shared principles,not as a candidate or Member of Congress, but rather as a private citizen. And I will do all I can to support candidates in Southwest Florida and elsewhere who champion the Penny Plan.

    “I hope the people of Southwest Florida will join with me in ensuring we elect a new Representative who will represent us with the passion and grace our community and our country needs, and who will be an unwavering defender of the simple idea that freedom matters because freedom works.”

    Ah, well. Won't be a candidate for everything. This Majority Leader Benacquisto, just based on being a Leader alone, seems like they'd be the frontrunner to do it. At least on the right, anyway. If it's for family or business decisions, as one article attributes, can't say I blame him.

    Yeah, but this is a loss. We already had a candidate in this seat and now he's gone and will be replaced with Benacquisto, who's just another Ros-Lehtinen clone.
