Rep. Gary Condit will not run for an eighth term in office, a source close to the embattled California congressman told Fox News on Friday.

Condit is planning to announce his decision in the next few weeks, the source said. He intends to remain in office until January 2003, the end of his seventh term.

I suspect that less than a third of his constituents are still in the newly created district. Further, he thinks this will let the dems off the hook.......I DON'T THINK SO......won't it be great to see him palling around with the dems.......make wonderful campaign ads for the republican wanting to run in the new district.

Neither is there any precedent for a congressman continuing in office while stonewalling police and the FBI over the fate of his missing and presumed dead mistress, but that doesn't seem to bother Party faithful too much.

imagine that! not bothered too much about one of their own possibly being a murderer. no problem!

It's amazing to me. Many of his constituents will say, on camera, that his personal life doesn't matter to them, that Condidit is doing a "good job" for them, and they support him. Hm. Where did we hear that before? Character doesn't count, as long as the scumbag is doing a good job. eech.
