OH-7: Hobson Will Retire

Yet another Republican Congressman has called it quits.

Ohio Republican David Hobson became the 12th Republican Congressman, third in Ohio, to announce he will not run for reelection next year.

Hobson's district, which includes Xenia, Springfield and some of Columbus' southern and eastern suburbs, like Whitehall, leans Republican. Bush won 57% of the vote here in 2004. Ted Strickland won the district last year, but Sherrod Brown lost it.
