Leahy to seek re-election

Lest any of you thought otherwise, Sen. Patrick Leahy announced today via YouTube that he will be running for re-election in 2010.

With Dems in power in Congress and a Dem in the White House, Leahy's looking at too much fun to call it quits at the age of 69.

In his video announcement for another six-year term, Leahy says he led the fight against the war in Iraq and stood up to the Bush administration and will join President Obama in restoring America's values. "I want to continue to use my experience and seniority to get things done for Vermont."

He's asking his supporters for money, though it is hard to imagine he will need fistfuls of it for his own campaign.

I can't wait to see which Republican is going to run against him!

Jack McMullen?
Richie Tarrant?
Walter Freed?

This is going to be fun.
 
Pat Leahy all the way!
 
I can't believe this guy keeps getting re elected. He is so out of touch with the real world and seems to me to be a bit of a crabby old man
 
Dick Cheney was right about Leaky
 
Never voted for anyone else, but not anymore. It's time to throw them all out.
 
Let's see... you can't believe Leahy keeps getting elected --- however, he does get re-elected AND by huge margins.

Maybe he is actually more in touch with more Vermonters than you are!
 
Let's see... you can't believe Douglas keeps getting elected --- however, he does get re-elected AND by huge margins.

Maybe he is actually more in touch with more Vermonters than you are!
