Two-family Fossella running for re-election.

Vito Fossella not only isn't retiring, he's running for re-election. From NY1:
Despite calls for him to resign, it seems embattled Congressman Vito Fossella will be fighting to keep his seat on Capitol Hill in November.

A high-ranking Republican source on Staten Island told NY1 Saturday that Fossella plans to run for re-election. It would be his sixth term.

The source also told NY1 that Fossella is surprised some of his GOP colleagues in the borough are being mentioned as potential replacements should he step down.
And you have to love the quote from his spokesperson:
A Fossella spokeswoman told NY1, "Congressman Fossella appreciates the support of so many people...but he has not made any decision yet. He continues to spend time with his family."
Which one?
