Dem Source: Massa Won't Run (NY-29) (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4292260)

Rep. Eric Massa is poised to announce this afternoon that he will not seek re-election in the 29th Congressional District this fall as planned, a Democratic source confirms.

...snip...

UPDATE: Massa's office says he will be speaking with the press on a "very important" conference call at 3:30 p.m. He's in Washington.

...snip...

Sources close to the congressman say there has been talk of an ethics investigation, but a staffer in Massa's district office contacted yesterday insisted he had no knowledge of that.

The former US Navy officer received a diagnosis of terminal cancer while serving as as the Special Assistant to the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, General Wesley Clark, during the Bosnian conflict, according to the bio on his Web site. He returned to the US to undergo treatment, survived and is "completely cured."

This might explain why he hasn't called lately (I've spoken to him every 2-3 months since his first campaign), although it could also be because I cut off his contributions when he voted against the Health Care Reform bill.

1. "Sexually harassed a male staffer."
 Politico is reporting the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married and has two children, sexually harassed a male staffer.

I thought that Democrats only harassed members of the opposite sex, unlike Repugs.
