California Democrat Dennis Cardoza, a five-termer and prominent member of the so-called conservative-leaning Blue Dog Coalition announced today that he's not going to run for re-election next year.
While Cardoza made some noises about 'the increasingly harsh tone in American politics', the real scoop is that he was re-districted into a much more GOP leaning district and doesn't see good things in his future chances. Cardoza's exit gives the GOP an excellent shot at capturing the seat.
Nobody should miss Dennis Cardoza by the way.He was a weasel and a waste of space.
He got into politics under the wing of Democrat Congressman Gary Condit, who trusted him and made Cardoza his chief of staff. Once Condit was sufficiently wounded by what turned out to be fake gutter press allegation's of Condit's involvement in the death of aide Chandra Levy,Cardoza turned on his one-time benefactor and ended Condit's career by defeating him in the primary.
In one of life's little ironies, while Levy was actually murdered by an illegal alien, Cardoza has been a consistent and reliable shill for the amestia lobby.
He's also supported most of Obama's Agenda, including policies that have destroyed productivity and employment in his own district, which has a large agriculture segment and a current unemployment rate of 17.5%.
Definitely not someone to be missed. Not at all.
