Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse for New York Democrats...

First Governor Paterson announces that he will retire, then Charlie Rangel loses his chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and now freshman congressman Eric Massa (D-NY) has announced that he will not seek reelection.  It is assumed that his decision stems largely from allegations that the married-with-children Massa sexually harrassed a male staffer.  The fact that he represents one of the state's most heavily Republican districts likely had something to do with it as well.

Gee . . . between this and Mr. Rangel's troubles, it's beginning to look a lot like 2006 in reverse!
