MD-04: Al Wynn takes his ball and goes to K Street

Aren't you glad we took him out?

Rep. Albert Wynn (D-Md.) is expected to announce Thursday afternoon that he will leave the House in June to join a Washington, D.C., law firm, according to Democratic sources.

Wynn was defeated in February in his bid for a ninth term when he lost the Democratic primary to challenger Donna Edwards.

And good riddance. Question now is whether there will be a special election to fill the remainder of his term. I wouldn't mind getting Edwards into the seat sooner rather than next January.

In any case, let's get more Donna Edwards-type Democrats into Congress.

Update: As if we can ever avoid presidential politics -- this is a loss of one super delegate for Obama.

Update II: Another likely super delegate loss for Obama:

Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila is among several people named in a sealed indictment, officials said Thursday, as U.S. authorities made the first arrests in a long-running probe into his party's finances.

An Associated Press reporter saw at least five officials from the Popular Democratic Party as they were led in handcuffs into the U.S. federal building in San Juan.

Acevedo is a Obama super delegate.

Update III: But Obama picks up an add-on delegate in Connecticut.
