Charlie Wilson's Problems Continue

Charlie Wilson must be wishing this last few weeks would hurry and pass. After failing to get on the Ballot and having to rely upon being a write in candidate he now has the GOP dumping oppo research on him too

Wilson's "questionable past" includes his concerns about how the dumping of raw sewage into the Ohio River more than a decade ago would impact his political career, said Ed Patru, an NRCC spokesman.
[...]
Wilson said the dumping occurred during heavy rainfalls. But David Charvat, the authority's superintendent from July 1994 to September 1995, disagrees.

Fired in September 1995, Charvat successfully sued the authority, saying he was wrongfully terminated because he discovered the raw sewage problems and other violations, and his concerns fell on deaf ears when he informed the board.

In court documents, Charvat says he discovered that an authority employee cross-connected the sewer plant system with the public water supply, leading to the raw sewage problem. Also, Charvat said in court documents that after Wilson and the rest of the board was informed, the agency didn't report the violation to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

Apparently this line of attack is an oldie and a not so goodie

Wilson said the tape-recorded statement has been used against him every time he's run for office. He ran and won Ohio House races in 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002, and was elected to the Ohio Senate in 2004.
[...]
Wilson said he was surprised that the authority issue is being used against him so early in the campaign.

"It's always been a month before the election," he said.

Wilson needs to dig himself out of the, ahem, shit, soon because this game of "all pile on" isn't looking good for Democrats retaining OH-6 right now.

pointless

why do you hate democrats so much, seriously. this is about the most pointless post ever. and you attack the senate minority leader because she couldnt feild candidates to run for seats that.. are.. not.. up.. for.. election! come on. i also find it funny how it is ok for a candidate to run for congress when he got a mistress pregnant while he was married (hey you said it no one else so dont blame others for spreading the garbage) but its ok to bring back to life the same old garbage against another candidate. here is a news flash.. ted strickland supports pedofiles! yes, it has been an issue brought up almost every time the guy as runs.

You're a buffon

It was reported in the youngstown vinficator. Would you prefer we ignore what's going on in the real world and bury our head in the sand ? As for getting a mistress pregnant - it was his now wife bozo. Hey if you don't like what is written here, I got a solution for ya. Go read something else - or start your own blog. You sound like a goper.

grammer (sic)

how about a little spell check there staffy?

This Wilson guy...

is pretty sad.  I can't believe this is the best the DCCC could do. 

Triumph!

I heard that Sorry Charlie hired a new campaign manager - Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. 

The new campaign slogan is: "I need four signatures . . . to poop on!"
