Embattled (and supposedly on the verge of indictment) Republican incumbent Bob Ney (OH-18) has announced he won't run for reelection. This is Abramoff claiming another victim, and a pretty clear sign that Ney will be indicted soon, perhaps before the end of the August recess. A K Street lawyer I spoke to a few weeks back said that after the recess, the pace of the indictments will increase substantially; we may be seeing that already. Not entirely sure that Ney's retirement will hurt the already-reeling Ohio GOP, but it probably won't help.
