According to Congress Daily, Former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) will resign from his seat in the House of Representatives before the end of the year. With two other GOP seats vacant because of deaths, that will put the balance of the House at 233-199 in favor of the Democratic Party. A special election will need to be held in Illinois to replace him.
Additionally, Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas will drop out of the GOP race for President today. After his second term in the Senate, Brownback may seek the Governor's post in Kansas in 2010.
