Yes, he’s up for re-election in 2010.
He is well funded. Despite his vote against this latest bill, I look forward to supporting a conservative candidate, should any choose to run against him.
I hope a conservative does run against him. By any chance is his a conservative district? Otherwise, why would he bother to vote against the bill unless he was pandering to his base? I don’t know the man, but he is a politician and getting reelected trumps personal convictions. So i’m supposing he’s not voting no out of principal, no matter what his press release claimed. And if you’re “a RAT in the House”, you do what Pelosi tells you to do.
