I think it's cuz he got caught up in a scandal and wants to keep his name clean just as others have done before him. That's just me though!

and he voted in Sotomayer...bastard
He claims it is because he doesnt want to warm a seat. I suppose being a Rep senator in a senate controlled by Dems, I can understand. It must feel overwhelming to know that nothing you do will matter.

ah but what about your principals....can't just bow down
Very true...kind of a lame ass way to leave. But I suppose part of me can understand. I have been married for 6 yrs, I am a beaten man.

NO... he can't leave early. He's ruining my plans for making Senator. They better not hold a special election to fill it.
