Democrats start to turn on Rangel
You know it's bad for a Democrat when even his fellow Democrats turn on him. Democrats are famous for defending scandal-plagued people and groups (ACORN, anyone?) so when they begin to bail on someone like Rangel.
Two Mississippi Democrats, Gene Taylor and Travis Childers, have already bailed on Rangel, voting against him on Wednesday.
Also on Wednesday night, Rep. Kendrick Meek, D-Fla., who is running for the Senate, chose not to sign a Black Caucus letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in support of Rangel.
Ouch!
It's been a long time coming for Rangel. Unfortunately for New York voters the Democrats are already planning on dumping another feckless Democrat into his seat: embattled New York Governor David Patterson.
