Discretion Better part of Valor....

Well so far 28 Republican Congressmen and at least 6 Senators have decided to step aside and not run for election again.

Various reasons, of course.

And not all have been involved in any impropriety or any type of investigation of wrongdoing.

But still.

But an incumbent has a big advantage, so it looks like they might not be too confident of a republican year.

Usually people don't drop out if they think they are going to win.

Some say the Abramoff scandal has not played all the way out yet.
