Omnibus 'congresscritters retiring next year' announcements

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Got your april fools' joke out three days late, Tim.

 

Is he not retiring after all?

He is retiring. But that piece of news so soon after the primary feels like an april fool's joke.

Let me guess, the machine will pick a close relative with sh**tty views like they did for Dan Lipinski.

A sh!tty pick would put this race firmly back on the map. Obviously David Gill is too extreme to settle in in this district, but he may not be too extreme for a one-off victory in a presidential year against a sh!t opponent.

Tim Johnson drops out in IL-13. http://capitolfax.com/2012/04/04/this-just-in-tim-johnson-to-drop-out/

Local party committees get to pick a new candidate (though it seems top Republicans are trying to dissuade Johnson). Could it be Bill Brady? I think he lives in this district.

Are Dan and Bill Brady related?

Perhaps Don Manzullo could run.

No.

The selection is complicated by the timing. The primary returns are not certified yet, so Johnson can't withdraw until that happens. The parties do not elect county chairs until April 18 when the newly elected committeemen will meet. Those chairs (14 for IL-13) will vote for a ballot replacement.

Not surprising, since he hasn't been doing any campaigning whatsoever.

He doesn't exactly need to campaign for that seat.

In the primary he kinda does. Considering he already had a strong opponent against him in it.
