My good friend, American Spectator stalwart, and recent contributor to AT Quin Hillyer has decided to run for Congress:

When an opportunity comes to do something good, one must grab it.

At 2 p.m. central time Thursday afternoon in Mobile, word spread that U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner, a six-term Republican from a dark red district, would announce that he is resigning mid-term (Aug. 15) to take a big job with the University of Alabama system of colleges. He made the announcement at 4 p.m.

On the local 5 p.m. news, I announced that I intend to form a committee and expect to run for his seat.

Good Luck to him, he is in very red district so the odds are very good if he wins the primary.
