Well, it looks like Vito Fossella has decided to make NY-13 a Democratic house seat. Rather than switch parties or step down, he's gone the more direct route: Arested for DUI and then bailed out by his mistress and mother of his illegitimate 3 year old daughter.
Wow. Talk about going out in a blaze of glory.
NY 13 consists of all of Staten Island plus Bay Ridge Brooklyn. As New York districts go, it's pretty conservative. Democrats hold an edge in registration, but Bush won it in 04 by 10 points. Up until this point, the race was looking competitive but a probable hold for the GOP. Now Fossella will almost certainly lose if he runs, and if another Republican runs, they're going to be behind in funding and organizing.
