I am told that former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) is faxing his resignation letter to Gov. Rod Blagojevich this afternoon.
Once the resignation is official, the governor has five days to set the special election within 120 days of the resignation. Because filing deadlines and the like prevent it from being much earlier, the primary will probably be held Feb. 5, the same date as the presidential primary.
Hastert announced Nov. 15 that he would be resigning before the end of the year.

And I know Kittybowtie is happy on this...
Update:
Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) today formally handed in his letter of resignation, which goes into effect at 10:59 PM CST tonight. A special election will be held to fill his position on Feb. 5. See the full letter HERE.
O.k. folks, we will all do the Biloxi wave when he leaves office.;-)

Good buy and don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out. Hastert has all his stolen money put after in overseas accounts. Yes like Lott, Hastert will lawyer up for the up coming criminal charges.
