Strange stunt. Hope he wins but this isn’t going to push him over the finish line.

He bettter not be good, and then keep the pledge.
I know Freepers who will denigrate him as a quitter.

Term limits are a way for voters to vote out representatives in districts they cannot vote in. It seems kind of silly to impose it on yourself if you're in a district where the voters want you to stay in office.
In my birthplace district, in what has proved to be a decisive election back in the 1990s, FOB & Hill Capps, Lois (D) pledged to abide by term limits. The younger Tom Bordanaro (R) did not. Guess which one is still in office (after ignoring her term limit pledge)?
Those in the class of '94 who abided by the term limits pledge plank in the Contract With America fatally weakened the house just when it came time that they could actually accomplish something.
The Supremes have ruled that term limits are unconstitutional. Why does this continue to be an issue?
