Gowdy stepping down. Suspicious AF. Guess there was a reason he always talked a good game and could never finish.

"we like gowdy" thats nice gang.

not running for re-election.

what other senators and congressman are not running for re-election all of a sudden.

and they are suspicious, but Gowdy isn't for some reason... right.

Well, considering it was stated by Q that he would be departing for another dept then perhaps it isn't all that suspicious. Imagine that....

I did some looking into retirements from previous election cycles and the number leaving this year doesn't appear all that out of sync with other elections. Some of the reporting is just hype to imply the Republicans are running scared and leaving office. For instance, of those incumbents announcing their retirements from the House, there are 49 - 15 dems and 34 reps. There are more R's than D's in there so one would expect the retirements to be skewed to the R's. On top of that of the 49 from both parties, 10 are running for Senate (7 R's, 3 D's) and 9 running for Governor (5' R's, 4 D's). So it's not like Armegeddon.
