Wow, that’s pretty pathetic. Two years ago the DCCC gave the NRCC hell for raising any money for Mark Foley right after the sex(less) scandal broke.
Well, today, the DCC still has Mahoney on its fundraising page.
Surely they aren’t trying to minimize the sex scandal.
And aren’t they just hurting other candidates?
But, let’s be honest, it’s on the GOP that isn’t allowed to raise money for scandal-ridden candidates. The DCCC can keep on keeping on.

Mahoney should withdraw
ColbyS Wednesday, October 15th at 9:50AM EST (link)In my opinion if Mahoney had the slightest bit of real commitment to the causes of his party he should withdraw and let them field another candidate. I guess we have already determined that he puts his own pleasures above his family or his causes though.
I don’t particularly think the NRCC or DCCC is responsible for “disowning” a candidate based on his electibility, only a chronic record of acting against the party’s overall agenda would warrant that. I think they were both fine in continuing to fundraise for their candidates, though Democrats who threw a hissy fit about Foley should be looking up recipes for crow right about now.
There's a 2nd affair.

Hit hard. Hit fast. Hit often.
Culture of corruption anyone?
shooflyguy68 Wednesday, October 15th at 11:05AM EST (link)If Pelosi can’t get Mahoney and “Cold Cash” Jefferson to step down, how can she claim to have swept away the GOP “Culture of Corruption”?
Disgruntled employees
TexasGringo Wednesday, October 15th at 2:31PM EST (link)Reading the stories, it is interesting that the sources for the coverup and the second affair are both Mahoney current or former staff. Seems like some disgruntled employees torpedoed him. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!
