WASHINGTON – A Democratic official says Rep. Patrick Kennedy has decided not to seek re-election for his seat representing Rhode Island in the U.S. Congress.

...

The decision by the eight-term congressman comes less than a month after a stunning Republican upset in the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat his late father, Edward Kennedy, held for almost half a century.

Well with Dodd a hideously popular rat is running in his place.

The RI rats may not be so lucky. I don’t see why an open seat in a good year with a generic rat wouldn’t be competitive.

The thing I worry about is Buddy C taking enough GOP votes to squirrel our chances. But that was just as true with Patches still in the race.

For the first time since 1946 there will not be a Kennedy in Congress or the White House. It would have been nice if happened by defeat in a GE rather than retirement. Was KKT the only one (not counting the 1960 theft or failed VP nomination of Sargent Shriver) to lose an election to the GOP?

Buddy will run as a Republican if he runs.

I would peg him as the overwheling favorite no matter which Rat runs against him.
