Norwood Leaves DC

In other news, Georgia Congressman Charlie Norwood (9th) has declined additional medical care in DC and returned to Augusta for hospice care. His press release states that he has battled non-small cell lung cancer since mid-November, and has had a lengthy bout of health problems stemming from a 1998 diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

And while this is a tragedy and tragedies are sad, Peach Pundit's "It's Crass But..." post has some horse race thoughts in the comments.
