Mike Richter for Congress

Former New York Rangers goalie Mike Richter, a member of the Stanley Cup Champion team in 1994, has been approached by the Democrats in Connecticut to run against Congressman Christopher Shays in 2008.

The "In the Loop" column in the Washington Post reported yesterday that the goalie, "wowed the Democratic caucus Wednesday . . . The usual sources report he was humble and direct and told the Dems that he hoped to join them and that he thought they were fighting the good fight. Members swamped him afterward, and one observer noted that in addition to being a hunk he seemed to still have his teeth -- thankfully protected by a goalie mask for those 15 seasons."

"I love this plan! I'm excited it could work! LET'S DO IT!" - Dr. Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters. I concur with Mr. Murray and would move to Connecticut if only to be able to vote for one of my favorite Rangers.
