He is by far the oldest member of Congress, and he has a crap load of Republicans challenging him. Yeah, its time to leave!

Why the hell would he tell us that now and make himself a lame duck for his entire final term?

Maybe things are so bad in the DFW GOP that he needs to give the not-crazy candidates enough time to line up fundraising and party support so that he doesn't get succeeded by some incompetent TPer like Jonathan Stickland or Jodie Laubenberg.

How can you be a lame-duck legislator? That only applies to executives.
