Furthermore, Ensign said that he plans to run for his Senate seat again in 2012.
"I fully plan on running for re-election,” Ensign told the Sun. "I’m going to work to earn their respect back."
Ensign says he has been getting support from people both in Washington and Nevada, and that people are encouraging him to stay in office. According to Ensign, supporters are telling him to "keep his head up" and assuring him that "this thing will pass."
When asked today if he would support Ensign's bid for re-election, USA Today reports, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did not give a precise answer.
"I think Senator Ensign will have to speak to those issues himself. And you can ask him about it," McConnell told the newspaper.
According to a recent Mason-Dixon poll, Ensign has a 39 percent approval rating. Only 29 percent of Nevadans think he should resign, CNN reports.
"AIN'T NO SIN, LIKE ENSIGN."
"John Ensign is Running for Re-Erection."
"Spay and Neuter Our Veterinarian Senator."
"I'll Trade You One Mistress For a Senate Seat."
"Protect Marriage from Mistresses"
"ENSIGN: MY OB/GYN SAYS I'M GOOD TO GO AGAIN!"
But he will run again!
Just like Vitter you see how effective that clown is. He gets blown off everytime he opens his mouth. So will Ensign he will be blown off because now they can. What an idiot to be a hypocrite that is the lowest form of life.
Why do we bother electing people if they are lame ducks right from the start?
politicians have!
That's right! He wants to retain office FOR THE PUBLIC, not for himself!
ONLY for the public! AS IF, this man and his party CARE or have HELPED America in the last eight and one-half years?! THEY HAVEN'T!
And, you can SAFELY bet, that if he does get re-elected, any 'mea culpas' will cease, his tears will stop, and he'll continue from 'square one' laughing his head off at the voters of Nevada who were silly enough to send him BACK!
I am waiting with great anticipation to see HOW dumb Nevadans are or are NOT!?
They'll run a commercial where he's surrounded by his family, and he's saying he made a mistake outside his family, but with the love of God
and his forgiving wife, he's ready to face 'new challenges'!
Yep, just watch! It'll be interesting to see how many people 'fall for it'!?
That's HUGE for a republican!!!
Of course he's going to run again - his approval is TWICE AS HIGH as the rest of the party!!
He's the best they got!!!
ROFLMAO!!!!!
