Now, Massa isn't just not running. He resigned.
Massa's exit eases health reform passage- With Massa gone, the House will have 431 members, meaning a majority is just 216 not the 218 usually required. Because Massa opposed the House-passed healthcare reform bill and hadn't given any hints that he would change his vote when the final version comes up in the next few weeks, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) just caught a break.
I'm sure he wasn't blackmailed by Pelosi or Obama to leave.
