1. Neither, he simply has outlived his usefulness and is about to be handsomely rewarded with a
multi-billion dollar contract in the private sector.
Then again, I'm the ever cynical one and NEVER cared for the tool man to begin with.

3. I think the third-party stuff was only good for one election.
He doesn't have a home now.

4. He is unelectable. The DADT repeal was his political gold watch.
He will get some sinecure, do little, and continue to offend us with his opinions.

5. He has angered so many people in this state.
Although he is denying it is the reason, most people here believe he would
have gotten his ass kicked in the election so this was a face saving thing, in my
opinion.

6. There is an old expression--Leave while they are applauding
Joe made some good choices in the last month or so and he must feel he is on a roll. What better time to leave?
