According to the [link=http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-licong024610211feb02,0,2744492.story?coll=ny-linews-headlines]Long Island Newsday[/link], Italo Zanzi, a USA National Team Goalie and a member of the USA Team Handball Board of Directors is seriously considering running for Congress:

According to the Cook Political Report, the 1st District in New York is considered a likely Democratic win, but could be a “potentially competitive” race. The current representative, Democrat Tim Bishop is finishing his 2nd term and won 56% of the vote in 2004.

A few burning questions:
– Will Mike Hurdle endorse Italo’s candidacy?
– Does his platform contain a provision for a Representative Italo Zanzi Team Handball Act to replace the Ted Stevens Amateur Sports Act?
