An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
2010 Is Looking Up!
Rep. Bart Gordon Will Not Seek Reelection
Rep. Bart Gordon has said today that he will not be seeking reelection after his current term is over.
Stating that “Turning 60 has led me to do some thinking about what’s next, I have an 8-year-old daughter and a wonderful wife who has a very demanding job, and I am the only child of my 83-year-old mother Margaret. They have made sacrifices to allow me to do what I love by serving Congress, and now it’s my turn.”
He also said “When I was elected, I was the youngest member of the Tennessee congressional delegation; now, I’m one of the oldest,”
I don’t suppose his decision not to run again has anything to do with the lack of support he’s getting from his constituents, could it? Naw. Not possible, right? Heh. Let’s just hope that the folks of TN 6th Congressional district can get a REAL conservative elected to that seat! First Tanner, now Gordon. 2010 could turn out to be a good year for conservatives, and a real bad one for libs.
