Oh come on this is the worst, he ran (like any polictian used tools he thought would get him votes) and lost.
Can you imagine the bad press that would follow if he were charged?
Huckster did not behave with honor, using the president in his commercials without mention of the fact that he was a Democrat opposed to the war. Schmidt, not a fiery candidate to begin with, ran no negative ads exposing Huckster for the fraud that he was, a high-taxing ("I wouldn't mind paying higher taxes"), pro-abortion, antiwar Democrat.
For Huckster to imply he supported the war on terror, and then address the core by calling the commander of that war a sunnuvabich did dishonor to his uniform. The only veterans he could get to appear in public with him was that old hack Cleland, no hero himself. Schmidt got the public backing of veterans and the Cincinnati FOP (Huckster filed a frivolous civil rights lawsuit against police officers for clients trying to get rich quick, cases later dismissed in court for lack of evidence - and in a CIVIL case, where evidentiary proof is vert lose!!!).
If Schmidt had been as ruthless a campaigner as Huckster, she would have won in a landslide, since she would have negatived Huckster into the glaring light of truth.
Oh well, as we know, Democrats can't run as Democrats...they lose. Heck, they may lose even when they run as stealth Democrats.
