NY Times:

Finding a candidate to replace Representative Vito J. Fossella, who will step down at the end of the year, is proving much harder than Republican Party leaders ever imagined.

Since Mr. Fossella admitted having a child out of wedlock more than two weeks ago, Republican after Republican, including some of the district's best known elected officials, has opted not to run for his seat.

I never wanted this for you Vito. I live my life, I don't apologize to take care of my family. And I refused to be a fool dancing on the strings held by all of those big shots. That's my life I don't apologize for that. But I always thought that when it was your time that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Fosella. Governor Fosella. Something.

And yet the Republicans continue to obstruct congress and think America will blame the Democrats.
Way to go Mitch McConnel and John Boehner! You have poisoned your own party.

Hard to find an honest Republican, ain't it?

Why don't they call on Susan Molinari. She could win it and hold it for a GOPer to be namedlatere. Perhaps her personal life could not stand scrutiny.

If they want to replace disgraced Republican Congressmen they'll have to replace the whole lot.
