From the Winston-Salem Journal:

Bowles, Dole are nominees in high-profile Senate race

Though Bowles has never run for political office, he gained the backing of Democratic leaders, including former Gov. Jim Hunt. He also won endorsements from the state AFL-CIO, 50 mayors and environmental groups.

"Bowles served on the board of a drug company where questions of accounting practices emerged and was a partner in a firm that made two failed investments that prompted Connecticut to sue over losses to its state pension fund.

Blue and Marshall also blamed Bowles for heavy job losses in the state's textile industry because he once supported the North American Free Trade Agreement."

"Bowles accepted the offer to debate [Dole], but he said he still wants to run "issue ads." He said he wants to sit down with Dole in person Thursday to work out the details, and possibly hold the first debate next week."

[CPT Clay]

How come we never read that Dole is running against multimillionaire businessman Erskin Bowles? How did he accumulate such wealth? I this some freepers should investigate.
