Arkansas Rep. Vic Snyder announced today he will not seek re-election this year, joining several other Democrats from moderate districts who are opting out of tough re-election campaigns.
Snyder, first elected in 1996, never won re-election with less than 58 percent. In 2008 he was not even challenged by a Republican, while John McCain won 54 percent in the district to President Obama's 44 percent -- an increase from 2004, when George W. Bush won by just a 51-48 margin.
In Arkansas, Democrats hold three of four House seats, both Senate seats and the governor's mansion. However, McCain carried the state with 59 percent, and Sen. Blanche Lincoln is in for the re-election battle of her career.
Snyder's 2nd District is surrounded by the state's three other districts and includes the capital city of Little Rock.

The price paid for selling his soul to the socialist muslim from Kenya.
Another recent thread indicated that he was in trouble in his district.
A nw AR area newspaper comment headline said that Lincoln won’t even visit the area, apparently because she thinks any visit would be hopeless to her re-election chances.

The bitter pill of the 2008 election is looking better and better. At least it is shaping up to do the job Nancy failed to do — Clean up the House [and some of the Senate] in 2010 and possibly 2012.
If they all retire we won’t have to stage a revolution!
Haaaaaaaaaa.
Haaaaaaaaaa.
Haaaaaaaaaa.
Another one bites the dust....
Lincoln had private meetings with a select group of people in our area over chicken houses and a plant. She is a little late. Gov. Jindal took care of Louisiana months ago while Lincoln was at home in Virginia where she actually lives with her husband and twin sons. That left Arkansas in the dust. She is trying to make up for it NOW but it AIN'T working!
He won't be hitting the unemployment line, since he does have his medical and law degrees to fall back on.

In typical coward dem fashion, he tucks tail and runs declaring defeat even before the war over his reelection begins. Excellent.
No doubt another Professor will be arriving looking for a job at the University of Arkansas.
Amen
Does this make him a quitter like Sarah Palin?
Actually, I know the answer: Snyder is a coward and a quitter....and on a personal level, a real azzhole...
Arkansas is going to send her packing.

IIRC, Snyder was one of the Representatives who was doing the phone-in townhalls, rather than face-to-face confrontations.
It seems his constituents are responding in kind.
Hope the door hits him in the ass on the way out.
Singing “Another one bites the dust.”
I’ve always wondered how Snyder held on in that district. He never even made the pretense of being a Blue Dog. He was a social liberal and an economic moderate in a state that doesn’t go for that.
The Dems have an extensive bench in that district but I doubt any of them want to make that move this year.
