Saturday Open Thread [10.13.12]

Happy freezing Saturday! Everyone seems focused on the Bodenwiser story today, but PainesMe has reminded us that if we are not doing what we can to elect Jane Hovington today, we are missing an awesome opportunity.

Bodenweiser suspends campaign

So Eric Bodenweiser has informed State Republican Party Chairman John Sigler via email!!!! yesterday that he was suspending his campaign for personal reasons. Those personal considerations and distractions are most likely the rumors that are now the subject of a police investigation. And for the first time, a news organization finally hints at those rumors:
Duke Brooks, a spokesman for the Sussex County Republican Committee, said committee members learned about two weeks ago of rumors involving allegations of serious criminal conduct by Bodenweiser about 20 years ago.
Hopefully this odious man named Eric Bodenweiser is gone from our politics forever. And hopefully Christine O'Donnell and her insane group of Teabaggers currently running the Republican Party in this state are gone too. But if they insist, despite this humiliation, to continue inflecting our body politic with their cancer, then next time hopefully they will more fully vet their candidates.
