I thought Moran had been encouraged by Dem. leaders not to run for re-election, no?
From what I hear Rep. Moran remains popular in his district. Even though the district went big for Bush and Moran has had his share of scandals as well as strong Republican opponents he has always managed not only to win but win big according to reports.
He got publicity for saying that the Jewish lobby is behind the war and he got publicity for apologizing for saying it. And that seems to be the end of it. Dixie Chicks (who also apologized) sure are getting a lot more attention, overshadowing Moran. Must make him happy.
