cnn is reporting this morning that illinois congressman, and former speaker of the house, dennis hastert will choose not to serve out the remainder of his term and resign his position early.
denny was the longest-serving speaker of the house in republican history. he held that post from january of 1999 until november of 2006 when he simply could not ride out the embarrassment of the mark foley scandal.
msnbc is also reporting this morning that senator sam brownback (r-kansas) will drop out of the republican race for president this friday.
the GOP field has already seen one casualty with former wisconsin governor tommy thompson dropping out earlier this year.
no word yet on any real pulse from fred thompson....
