No way he’d challenge Warren in a primary..<P.
He’s retiring because the GOP will control the House for the rest of the decade..and being a “ranking” member sucks...

Here's his statement:

"To win we would need to run a very ugly and personal campaign and there are some things' even I, Barney Frank won't stoop to."

...probably he got an offer he couldn’t refuse, go or go to jail. He probably made millions on “insider trading” while “shorting” the market

Evidently, he’s done all the damage he thinks he can get away with and is bailing out while the bailing is still an option.

If we had a GOP with any balls, this pervert would be occupying a jail cell sometime in early 2013...

“Barney Frank withdraws from body politic to enter annals of history.”

Um, hasn't he been entering annals for some time now?

man... the world has changed so much in the last few years, nearly all the all “bad guys” both foreign and domestic or now dead, dying, gone, or soon to be gone. These are names I have lived with nearly my entire adult life... and they are all just... going away.

It’s almost surreal.

His district was re-drawn, taken away was New Bedford and Fall River. Lot of his welfare votes in those towns.

Rush ( and/or his staff) lurk..we've long known that..

Not only will the GOP keep the Hosue for the rest of the decade, but the GOP majority will increase..by as much as 20-30 seats, and the overall GOP caucus will become far moe conservative..that's the REAL NEWS

The House Dems are screwed...soon all the senior Dems will be members of the CBC...they NEVER retire..and that's gonna put a whole new "face" of the Dem party...they are, for the most part, unintelligible idiots..
