I know and I don't care...

...if the seat was open and he wanted to run, more power to him. But if the Party isn't going to support its incumbents, absent corruption, then the support the Party needs (financially and otherwise) FROM its incumbents will disappear, and more candidates will be at risk. The Tea Party has been playing the fear card on the Republicans; how's it working out for them?

Consider this; how many incumbent challengers did progressive idol Howard Dean support when he was Party Chair?
