I actually agree with Karl Rove on something?
Amazing, I never thought the day would come… but according to a story on mydd.com today, Rove’s list of vulnerable Republican Congressmen was released… Among them, our own Jim Walsh (NY-25) and Randy Kuhl (NY-29). Perhaps most surprising is that Kuhl is listed in the “may not seek re-election” category… We’ll see about that, I haven’t seen any signs that Kuhl is ready to retire, but Walsh might want to consider a long vacation after telling voters how disappointed he was in them…
Hat tip to astute reader Bill for sending us this tip… which all of you can do by clicking the “About/ Contact Us” button on the right toolbar.
Kuhl was rumored to be retiring last year. He took a long time before finally announcing he was running.
When the whole Foley “thing” hit the fan, one of the comments made was that he had planned to retire but that Reynolds and Co. strong armed him into saying (better to have an incumbent hold a seat etc.).
Since hearing that, I have suspected that Kuhl wanted to retire but had been “convinced” not to. So no, I wasn’t surprised to hear that he was on Rove’s list of potential retirees.
