No. Should he run for re-election he will win in a landslide. The problem is the values and ethics of a voting majority of people in his district.
I predict he will eventually resign for “health reasons” and have to pay a fine for his misdeeds
Will Charles Rangel be forced from Congress, or will the four Republicans on the ethics panel find him innocent during his trial before them?....

This goes far beyond some House ethics panel investigation. Charlie Rangel needs to be arraigned and indicted in front of a federal judge for felony tax evasion. The people deserve nothing less.
I think he will resign late Monday morning...
The Democrats are brilliant! Now that most people are confused about what really happened with Shirley Sherrod vs the evil Fox News and Andrew Breitbart, All media attention will move to 24/7 on Charlie Rangel. Democrats bringing their to task, aren’t they great. Look for this hit and run strategy, keeping the public confused, all the way to election time.
Pelousy feels that Adam Clayton Powell IV would be a suitable substitute for ole cholly.
Rules are applied only to Republicans. democrats get away with their crimes.
nothing to see here, he’s black and a Democrat free pass.
Yep. He’s a Democrat. Nothing will happen and he will be re-elected in a landslide victory. He has nothing to fear.
There is a good chance that the story behind the story is that Rangel is the 4th ranking Democrat, by seniority, in the House.
This means that he has the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee—the committee that determines federal taxation. And because of this investigation, he has had to step down from this chairmanship.
However, #3 among senior House Democrats is Dave Obey, who is a total lickspittle and toady of Nancy Pelosi and her agenda. He belongs to the small cabal of extreme leftist 1960s socialist-radicals among the Democrats.
He is also chairman of the MOST important committee in the House, the Committee on Appropriations. This is the committee that determines where every penny the US government spends goes.
And Dave Obey is not running for reelection!
If the Democrats retain control of the House, this would mean that Charlie Rangel would be in complete control of the agenda, as chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
Charlie Rangel is prior service military. He fought in the Korean War, was wounded and almost captured or killed by the Chinese, and still led part of his unit to safety when they were almost encircled by the Chinese. He received both the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his actions.
This is enough for the radical socialists to hate Charlie Rangel. But they also know that if Charlie Rangel becomes chairman of the Appropriations Committee, even if the Democrats retain control of both houses of congress, it will be an end to their agenda.
Charlie Rangel doesn’t work for them. Charlie Rangel works for Charlie Rangel.
So as far as the radical cabal is concerned, Charlie Rangel must go.
No. The ethics issues Rangel faces are resume enhancers for Democrats.
Rangel is a thug and bum. But naturally his Harlem constituents would re-elect him even if Jesse Jackson opposed him.
I force out a Charlie Rangel every morning.
