Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), Near-Casualty Of Foley-Gate, Is Retiring

Yet another Republican swing seat has opened up in the House. Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), the former NRCC head who barely survived his 2006 re-election over a lackluster opponent as a result of his implication in the Mark Foley scandal, will reportedly announce his retirement.

Reynolds' Upstate New York district went 55%-43% for President Bush in 2004, and 52%-45% for Bush in 2000. With the GOP suffering generally and in New York particularly, expect this sudden opening to be very closely contested this November.

I'd just like to point out that I love Barack Obama and he is awsome and there is nothing that he can do that is wrong, because he is Barack Obama.

I would point out that you're a transparent, off-topic moron, but I hold that truth to be self-evident.

Reynolds survived the Great Cleansing of 2006, where numerous Republican congressmen in upstate NY lost to Democratic challengers. That was incredibly irritating and disappointing at the time, so it's nice to see him go.
