Rangel a corrupt guy and Castro's friend files for 2012

Rep. Rangel files for 2012

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Monday, a first step toward running for a 22nd term in 2012.
Rangel, who was censured by the House late last year after a two-year congressional ethics investigation, has hinted that he might opt to retire rather than run again, and despite the paperwork Rangel filed, it's still possible he could decide against another campaign.  
If Rangel did opt for another term, he would likely face little opposition. Even amid the ethics inquiry last cycle, Rangel easily survived a Democratic primary challenge and went on to win the general election handily in his overwhelmingly Democratic district.
