Echos of Baldwin
NY representative Charles Rangel promised to retire if Democrats don’t take control of the House this fall.
“I’m a poker player and I’ve had good hands all night long. This is all in,” Rangel said in an interview. “I would not put everything on the table if I thought for one minute we would lose.”
Dems have a steep hill to climb, needing to pick up 15 seats to take control.
Somehow I think this promise has as much substance as Alec Baldwin’s, Robert Altman’s and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder’s promises to move to France if Bush was reelected.
But some bloggers remain optimistic. Say Anything says, “Talk about motivation for Republicans to get out and vote.”
Meanwhile, Wizbang urges:
Go to Rightroots and donate now. What a great two-fer. You can help Republicans maintain control of Congress and make it Rangel-free at the same time.
What a great idea.
