Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), Near-Casualty Of Foley-Gate, Is Retiring
By Eric Kleefeld - March 19, 2008, 11:34PM

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.

1. I'm sure this will get covered as much as Spitzer.

Won't it?

Time to email the f**kin MSM again....

2. He's retiring to spend more time pimping his family to pedophiles. n/t

3. I grew up in Reynolds district - if it ever goes Blue, I'll be shocked.
