The Associated Press: Report: Rep. Delahunt won't run for re-election

By ANDREW MIGA (AP) – 19 minutes ago

WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Rep. William Delahunt has decided not to run for re-election.

The seven-term Democrat told the Boston Globe that his decision had nothing to do with politics. He said he had been considering leaving for several years but was talked out of it by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, who urged him to help pass President Obama's first-term agenda.

"Life is about change," Delahunt told the Globe. "I think it's healthy. It's time."



Bill, I think it's time too.

Would the last Dem to leave office please turn out the lights?
