I’m sorry to hear about Souder. But it’s also refreshing to see a politician who has done the wrong thing now do the right thing. Certain kinds of breaches call for resignations. Too many politicians who commit them try to cling to power. Too often, voters let them.

By the way, Indiana’s 3rd CD is a solid GOP district; McCain carried it with 56 percent, Bush in 2004 with 68 percent.
