The Writing's On the Wall ...

And Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-Rhode Island) can read it.   He's just announced he won't run for re-election this Fall.

So he avoids a likely political buzz-saw this November that could even affect R.I.   Likely scenario, we think:   now Kennedy can take up Massachusetts residency and challenge Scott Brown for his father's old Senate seat in two years.  Hard to run for Senator from Mass. when your still the Representative for Rhode Island.
