They are now (and once again) making claims that Strickland is gay and comparing Strickland to Mark Foley because of a former staffer Strickland had who was convicted of a misdemeanor for exposing himself to minors. One of […]
Reuters has a nice article up about the challenge Joe Lieberman is facing this year: After years of ardent support for the Iraq war, Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman could become that conflict’s first big political casualty in a Democratic primary race fueled by rising anti-war anger.
