Ralph Reed's Ties to Abramoff May Slow His Run at GA Lt. Gov

From the article:
"We believe that Ralph wants to be president. The only place to stop him is right now," says former state senator Greg Hecht, the leading Democrat in the race.

Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

One would think that the social moderates/fiscal conservatives of the Republican Party would never let that happen but they don't really control the party right now.

The very stench of corruption surrounding anyone can hurt in politics. As it should. However, in Ralph Reed's case I can only hope it is true.

EDIT: a further quote that gives insight to the Repubican Party as it stands right now
It's unclear whether Reed's link to Abramoff will turn off Christian voters. Sadie Fields of the Georgia Christian Coalition, says Reed will get a warm welcome when he and Cagle appear before the group Saturday.

"He has apologized for any disappointment anyone might have felt over Abramoff," she says. "It's time to move on."

She probably sent Jimmy Swaggart a check after his "I have sinned" speech too.
