Rep. Eric Massa, D-New York, announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election and denied a report that he harassed Capitol Hill staffers.Kind of a weird case here, and Massa was one of the better progressives in the House. Equally weird is CNN's report:
Massa, a cancer survivor, told reporters in a conference call that he was briefly hospitalized last December.
“I kept it private between myself and my immediate family,” Massa said. “It was a very intense and personal experience especially in light of having gone through this before.”
Massa said he keeps up a brisk pace "and my doctors have made it clear that I can no longer do that."
Massa is the 10th House Democrat to announce that he will not seek another term in the House nor run for a higher office in 2010. Seven House Republicans have also said they will outright retire at the close of the 111th Congress.So if you go by this, you'd totally believe the Dems were bailing from the House in greater numbers than the Republicans. It's just not true. 20 Republicans are retiring, the Dems are up to 14 now.
Funny how that works.

Newsflash. One Republican is worth a million Mooslimcraps.
So of course the Mooslimcraps are losing. 20 Republicans versus 14 million Mooslimcraps?
I believe the issue is that there are any moderate areas where the dems are leaving. In other words, the 14 dems are in competitive districts...
