Numbskull Representative Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island will not be seeking re-election in November 2010.
Neither will Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana, who is ahead in the polls but is sick of being part of a do-nothing Congress.
Nor will Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut. Nor will Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota.
Clearly, this is because the Democrats know they have infuriated the electorate by failing to save jobs, wasting tax dollars at a tremendous rate, and attempting to foist an unwanted healthcare reform bill upon the country. They want to walk out before they are kicked out.
Self-preservation is more than a small part of this. By refusing to run for re-election, and by distancing themselves from the Obama administration, these fellows can preserve their hopes for making a political comeback one day.
One troubling rumor even sees Patrick Kennedy running against Scott Brown in 2012. Given that he is a whiny, immature carpetbagger/drunkard, I think he would lose...but the prospect of his attempt still makes me sick.
