BREAKING: AP Confirms John Doolittle Retirement Imminent

Confirming CMR's exclusive report from earlier this week, the Associated Press is now reporting that Congressman John Doolittle will announce his retirement today in Roseville.

This is obviously bad news for the Charlie Brown campaign, as the ethics-challenged Doolittle was almost certainly poised for defeat were he to survive his primary. Nevertheless, Brown has been up and down the 4th Congressional District for years now, and has strong grassroots support even among many Republican voters. Making a donation today to the Brown campaign would send a clear signal to the pundit types that this seat is still worth watching.
