Democratic Hopeful's Arrest Draws Media's Interest
The Washington Post ^ | July 27 | Steve Vogel

It was the volume of media attention that a candidate hovering at 1 percent in the polls would normally welcome.

A stand of microphones and a row of television cameras and reporters awaited David B. Dickerson, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, at a news conference scheduled on his behalf yesterday afternoon in Towson.

Course I had to repeat something from the 1st sentence... Accused of rape, sexual offense, assault of his wife. He's 43, she's 19.

A doctorate from Cambridge University in England is quite an achievement. I wonder if his wife fabricated these charges -- not unusual in a divorce or child-custody battle, which this seems to be.

The man is 43 and his 'wife' is 19.

Met her when she was '16' and told her 'call me when you're 18. He was 40 years old then!

This is the type of people we want running our government?

"I wonder if his wife fabricated these charges..."

No, Karl Rove did. It's another 'Rovean' plot against Democratic chances to win elections. (At least the DUmmies will think so).

I do wonder about the case. Women do on occasion lie about things (as do men).

Unfortunately, some of those types DO run our government. One of them, in fact, was elected to the highest office in the land....twice.

But, if I had to guess at what's going on here; horny, old man meets young girl who will do ANYTHING (including marry said horny, old man) to get out of Latvia. Once she is stateside, she has the legal right to seperate him from his children, his assets and his sanity, and usually with little or no provocation, but a charge of rape against a political figure is a sure-fire means of blackmail (assuming the allegations are false).

If you ask me, they both got exactly what they deserved.
