Yes. Someone came in from out of town and wanted to go to
some sort of a semi-off color event. It was mud wrestling
or some such. Bruce’s wife was there as I recall. They
had a few drinks and hung out and left.
I believe that did cost him the election.
It was released about five days before the election.
Some of this may be off a bit, but this is something close
to what took place.
Herschensohn did nothing wrong at all.
Boxer didn’t release the strip club story. It was Bob Mulholland, the DNC slimeball. I have always suspected that Bruce was set up by his friend and radio colleague Ken Minyard who if memory serves was the one who invited Bruce to meet him there.
I was a lowly volunteer on his Senate runs. The first campaign was a real shoestring operation, a very small group of pros and volunteers pulling the oars. Gave me the chance to see the campaign from the inside and to meet a lot of people whose names that we all know. Those who harbor illusions that GOP insiders are an honorable bunch need to hang around campaigns and learn. Bruce was a good guy, but the establishment who run the party aren’t all that different from Democrats. There’s a good reason that you don’t seem to get what you think you are voting for.
