Any hope of holding it?

But Vito won 57-43 in 2006. That's pretty close for an entrenched incumbent. IIRC, Bush lost the district to Gore and won it against Kerry (9/11 voters). But I don't recall where I found that.

It's kinda close, but it was also a horrible year, so if he's usually winning with 60+%, we should have a chance.

That said, it'll clearly be difficult.

Any chance Rudy wants to be a lowly Congressman?

I read somewhere earlier today that the district PVI was D+1. If that's right, it's hard to imagine the GOP wins an open seat in the 2008 environment.

I think people should pray for his wife, and his four children - they are the innocent ones here. Vito Fossella is a jerk, and a fool, who deserves his shame.

On the macro side, it seems that the GOP can't buy a break this election cycle. In that sense, we clearly are seeing a replay of the last cycle.

That's what Jesus said when they were gonna stone Mary Magdaline, right?

That's what God said about David when his illegitimate son was dying. He should be ridiculed!

Please. I do not worship a God that is gleeful and dismissive to men's flaws.

...I will take your word on this - I am Jewish. :)

However, I still don't feel particularly sad for Vito, but only for his family.

It's actually pretty good of him that he's visiting and taking care of his young daughter.

He's a flawed man, but it seems to me that he's got a good heart.

King David was probably the biggest sex-fiend in history. He had more wives and concubines then any man could ever dream of, yet he STILL couldn't keep his hands of Bathsheba. Yet, he was a man after God's own heart. It's good to remember that.
