Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., will not seek reelection next year - a huge blow for his party in one of the most conservative seats still held by a Democrat.
The Oklahoman reports Boren will make his announcement this afternoon in his hometown of Muskogee. Boren is the first House member to retire outright rather than to seek higher office. Still, Boren's profile isn't typical of most Members mentioned for possible retirements - he's only in his fourth term and is only 38 years old.
