Eight-term Rep. Mark Souder will announce his resignation Tuesday after it came to light that he was conducting an affair with a female staffer who worked in his district office, Fox News has learned.Did this idiot just cost the GOP that seat? The primary is over, but will his resignation allow the GOP to put someone else on the ballot?
Multiple senior House sources indicated that the extent of the affair would have landed Souder before the House Ethics Committee.
Elected as a family values conservative as part of the Republican revolution in 1994, Souder survived a tough re-election challenge in 2008 and survived a contested primary two weeks ago.
Souder was absent from Washington most of last week, missing multiple votes and only voting on Thursday.
You know the Dems would be in court in 5 minutes to get a new candidate on the general election ballot, so the Indiana GOP needs to get going and save this seat.
