A record low primary turnout and voter disgust for politics could spell trouble for Republicans trying to keep control of the House and Senate.
Only 15 percent of eligible voters cast primary ballots this year, breaking the 19 percent low record from the last two midterm elections, according to an American University study. But frustrations with President Bush, the Iraq war and a congressional scandal involving lurid messages could increase turnout in the November elections and the voters most mobilized wont be Republicans.
If the election were held tomorrow, the Republicans would be extraordinarily in trouble, said Curtis Gans, director of American Universitys Center for Study of the American Electorate. It makes independents and Democrats much more likely to vote Democratic. It may make some Republicans sufficiently unhappy to stay home.
Reynolds was sentenced to five years in prison and expected to be released in 1998. However, in April 1997, he was convicted on 15 unrelated counts of bank fraud and lying to SEC investigators. These charges resulted in an additional sentence of 78 months in federal prison. Reynolds served all of his first sentence and served forty-two months in prison for the later charges. At that point, U.S. President Bill Clinton commuted the sentence for bank fraud. As a result, Reynolds was released from prison and served the remaining time in a half way house.
Hahaha, the comments on that page come directly from the PAWN playbook;
The first clue that this is a Democrat scandal is because the offender had sex with an of-age person of the opposite sex. A Republican scandal would have involved little boys and scuba-suits.
