U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy’s abrupt announcement that he’s not seeking re-election to Congress has gleeful Republicans eyeing incumbent New England Democrats and asking, “Who’s next?”
“Long-term incumbents who don’t have a fire in their belly are in trouble,” said GOP consultant Ron Kaufman, in response to news the Rhode Island congressman is stepping aside. “There’s an anti-incumbent fever, and that helps Republicans.”
In Massachusetts, the National Republican Congressional Committee - tasting victory after the come-from-behind Senate win of Scott Brown last month - has targeted U.S. Rep. William Delahunt and U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas - both from districts where Brown won the majority of communities.
Those two Democrats have also shown sluggish fund-raising, and Delahunt has refused to even commit to seeking re-election.

Good
We can only pray......
Actually, I would prefer if our candidates were running against these guys. They have a record of idiocy a mile long.
Some new Dems like our honorable president will come along and smile....and who knows?
Start? I thought it already started. Isn’t he the sixth or seventh Dem to announce he’s not coming back?
More excuse for them to run their RINO moderates.
Tea, anyone?
I have a moldering suspicion in the back of what's left of my brain that the Evil Party just might be trying to strap the huge mess they have made out of the mess Bush left'em on the backs of the Stupid Party.
Obama has taken a two-year economic hiccup and turned it into might what might very well become a 10-year long, worldwide depression.
He is a Communist, or his handlers are, and these people have long-term goals. The worse the country is, the better off their cause.
When even a mentally-ill fellow like Kennedy can tell what time it is - the Democratic Party future is truly bleak.
Delahunt was my congresscritter when I lived on Cape Cod. I thought he was marginally acceptable until he jumped into bed with Hugo Chavez. He was exposed for the possum that he is.
Keep the door hinges oiled, tighten the screws, and don’t block the doorways.
“...the worse the country is, the better off their cause.”
Sad, but true.
IMHO
I guess Patrick got scared after his dad, RIP, is not there to bail him out anymore.
Good riddance!!!

Such a Shame!
Are you listening???
The RINO moderates are going down too. I’m sick of McCain and his ilk, his silly wife and I’ve just about heard all I want to hear from his twit of a daughter.
LOL!!!
Because he's such a leader./s
