Trent Lott announced his retirement yesterday and Dennis Hastert left today.
Trent probably wants to leave before the newly passed lobbyist bill takes effect in January of 2008. That bill requires a two year absence from office before a retired representative can work as a Washington lobbyist. Mr. Hastert did not enjoy his minority status.
The GOP insists that the 17 house members and 6 senators are just individual choices and has nothing to do with their minority status.
Whatever the reasons, losing two key senators like Trent Lott and Pete Domenici has got to hurt. Mississippi will be electing another Republican but without Trent’s clout. Democratic Representative Tom Udall is way out in front of his GOP opponents in his quest to replace Senator Pete Domenici.
The GOP is seeking candidates with deep pockets because they are almost broke.
Compare the two parties.
