Hastert is two heart-beats away from the presidency.
If he's been sitting on this since '05 or '03 or '02 or '01 or whatever, do you really want him to be president? I mean you as a conservative who wants people to think well of conservatives. From a PR perspective, do you really want him in office?
Of course the bigger issue is whether he's fit for office at all. I think the jury just sent the bailiff to the judge with a message.
