SC-05: Parnell (D) refuses to quit despite discovery of domestic abuse incidents

[NeverAgain]

I guess the House of Cards ad was a bit on the nose, knowing all the facts...

[Virginiá]

If this is true and didn't come out last time around, Republican oppo research sucks.

It's possible that no one thought it would even be competitive and wasn't worth the effort. That was a sleeper race for the most part.

[RINO Tom]

He says god forgave him. That is an obvious lie considering the fact that god is not real.

My eyes are burning from reading this take.

[Sestak]

I knew there was something kind of off about him. Maybe making a House of Cards based ad is a sign that you're kind of a sick POS.

TBF SC-5 overlaps Underwood's district in the show.

Underwood's district is actually numbered SC-05 too...

WHICH ONLY MAKES IT EVEN STRANGER. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A (fictional) ULTRA-CORRUPT CUTTHROAT POLITICIAN PLAYED BY A SEXUAL PREDATOR?!

There are plenty of candidates who don't mind being associated with Donald Trump, a sexual predator being played by multiple ultra-corrupt cutthroat politicians

Tbf the ads were made before Kevin Spacey's allegations came out.

I never understand why people with this kind of baggage even bother running for office. EVERYTHING comes out no matter how long ago it was. Either release it yourself and try to control the narrative or it'll destroy your candidacy.

The question is why does everything come out?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Is there any evidence Parnell is a changed man since then? Is there any way to even tell if that's the case?

[UncleSam]

If he had been to jail or atoned in any appreciable way then I wouldn’t care since this was over forty years ago, but given he hasn’t I hope he is forced to drop out. Run the literal clown before this guy.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Ugh. there goes our chances of getting two dems in this state. Sad. He should drop out immediately.

[Pandaguineapig]

Parnell is unfortunate in that he is a long-shot, if he were in a better situation like Carper or Sherrod Brown I believe their would be nary a word from the national leadership

[Landslide Lyndon]

Congrats panda! You have been reported for trolling and continuing to post lies.

I believe Sherrod Brown abused his ex-wife

I'm sorry that didn't happen

[Strudelcutie4427]

Time for Dems to send in the clown? Literally

[OBD]

y tho

also does anyone know about another sc dem i can subsitute for Parnell in my Election Night thing

[DrScholl]

He had some fairly conservative positions anyway and probably wouldn't have supported Pelosi so it's not like it was a big loss.

[Don Vito Corleone]

If this is true and didn't come out last time around, Republican oppo research sucks.

Why the switch from R-AL to I-AL?

Why the switch from R-AL to I-AL?

I’ve been trending that way for a while. The joke about John McCain and the lack of repercussions pushed me over the edge.

[Progressive Pessimist]

This is why we need more women in government.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

If this is true and didn't come out last time around, Republican oppo research sucks.

To be fair, last time the Republicans didn't think they needed to, and since they won they were right. For that matter this isn't even the final nail in the coffin of Parnell's chances this time but the shovelling in of the dirt after the coffin was in the ground. Parnell needed a miracle if he were to do better this time than in the special, so I never thought he had a chance anyway.
