Trouble????

According to Huffington Post, "...Ganley allegedly sexually assaulted..."  a woman that wanted to volunteer for his campaign.

YoungOhioDem has a MUST READ posting about Republican/Tea Party candidate, Tom Ganley, at DailyKos.   Here are some excerpts from DailyKos:

...A long time ago, such accusations would almost certainly doom any campaign. The fact that it has not is just one sign of how bad our political discourse has deteriorated. The Republicans are running candidates who have had sex with prostitutes, dabbled in witchcraft, mocked autism, and denied global warming. How can they claim to represent the people when they can't even take care of themselves?

...The truth? Tom Ganley owns the largest group of car dealerships in the state of Ohio, with 32 dealerships and all of your major brands. He has been sued over 400 times for age and gender discrimination, as well as deceptive business practices. In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, the Ohio Attorney General filed a lawsuit against one of his dealerships after they advertised deals for cars moved out of Louisiana. The resulting investigation found that Ganley had never even received a shipment from Louisiana....


.....Betty (Sutton) is one of the best progressives we have in the US House. She's worked for the common man and woman to get them back on track. Tom Ganley may appear to be right, but he's nothing but a bad deal for Ohio.

I wonder if these accusations will change the minds of voters.

***** It appears that Republican Meg Whitman is in trouble in California for allegedly knowingly employing an illegal immigrant for nine years.  The New York Times has the details, including this: 

....Ms. Whitman has been an advocate of penalties against employers who hire illegal immigrants.....

Whitman has spent over  $100 million of her own money for her campaign, according to the article.
