BREAKING: Report John Ensign (R-NV) To Announce "Retirement"

Apparently having an affair and paying off the woman and her husband is bad for your political career. Who knew?

Ensign would be the 8th Senator to announce he's not running for reelection in 2012. 5 Democrats, including Lieberman and now 1 3 Republicans.

Ensign was facing an uphill climb in the GOP primary where he's consistently been trailing Rep Dean Heller by double digits.

UPDATE:
He's not leaving before his term is up.
