Barney Frank is retiring!

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Slim to 0 chance for the gop to get his seat but hey, we can hope his replacement us moderate. That would be a huge improvement.

Good riddence anyhow.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

you think franks district will elect a repub?

Highly unlikely. It's fairly Democratic. I doubt the new 4th will be any more Republican friendly.

Frank’s 2010 campaign manager, Kevin Sowyrda, said a key factor in the congressman’s decision was that the newly drawn up congressional district strips away New Bedford from Frank. The South Coast, heavily Democratic, pro-union fishing city has long been a prime power base for Frank, but his new district now includes several more moderate suburban towns, such as Walpole, rather than New Bedford.

“It’s a tougher district,” said Sowyrda, who was recently hired as a consultant by Frank to analyze the new district. “Barney was not thrilled at all with the map when he saw it. New Bedford, where his vote was huge, was sliced. His exact words to me were, ‘They didn’t do me any favors.’ ”

In other words? He's a coward.

It might have, had he not decided to retire. but no, with an open seat, Dems are a shoe it.

The GOP wouldn't have had a chance even if he had stayed. He had one of the strongest Republican opponents ever last year with a Republican wave at his doorstep and he still won pretty handily. The people of his district could care less about ethics and integrity.

Now let's see this happen on the Senate side.

50 is old?

Yawn... another power grabbing politician goes out of the game after wreaking havoc....

Just like his buddy Chis Dodd did when he saw the writing on the wall.

Word has it though that Bawney is to make an appearance on "Pole Dancing With The Stars..."

My most humble apology...

lol...oh man...no.

Prove me wrong.

ok start a subject and have her debate in it. Once you get passed talking points, the drop off is extreme.

Project much? Go ahead.. prove your assertion.

I didn't say it was old. But it's not young either.

You wouldn't understand. Most right wingers are binary. Their world is "either/or" and nothing else. Except when it comes to Obama. Then it's "black and white".
