Election 2010: Congress

Following up on plans previously announced by his office, U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan filed for re-election Monday, AP reports.

As noted earlier, the 1st District Democrat had been included on "an informal list of 17 members the NRCC believes can be convinced to step down" rather than run in 2010.

AP reports separately on the potential for a high-profile primary contest among Republicans seeking to challenge the 14-term incumbent.
