Doolittle may be hanging on because one more term gives him full retirement. Redstate.com is supporting conservative challenger Eric Egland. If you want to contribute go to https://www.ericegland.com/index.php

Generally, I like the Republicans’ chances next year. There are a ton of Dems in Republican-leaning districts. If the Republicans can successfully tie this Congress to those Dems, they should be able to retake the House. It’s the Senate I’m worried about. Five retirements? Sheesh...

The left continues to go after Doolittle.

Let’s see how many freepers join in with innuendo.

Although the worries about Larry Craig having a bad effect are somewhat overstated, since we aren’t likely to lose his seat (since he has declared he is not running for reelection), conversely, it’s folks like Doolittle that are threatening any chances we have at retaking the House by needlessly jeopardizing solid Republican seats.

Although challenger Brown should’ve maxed out in ‘06, Doolittle has all but made it completely possible for Brown to oust him next year if he insists on staying. Trailing badly in fundraising with the general appearance of ethical impropriety, Doolittle thinks he’ll get by like a Democrat, and that’s not going to happen. We need to coalesce around one Conservative challenger to oust him, or we lost the seat, and it’s just that simple.

Maybe he's "hanging on" because he did NOTHING wrong. Don't suppose that's a possibility is it?

Retire from an elected position? There's all the reason I need to donate to Eric Egland.

The party caucus needs to clean house. We have lost to many seats to people of Doolittle's ilk. I think they should kick him jerry Lewis and probably Don Young out of the caucus right after striping them of their seniority. Enough is enough.

Tom Sullivan, who subs for Rush sometimes, has said he would run only if Doolittle does not. It’s a shame because Tom would win easily. He is well known and liked.
