Oh no. What did he do?

From Wikipedia:
On September 15, 2004, a woman locked herself inside the bathroom of Sherwood's Washington, D.C. apartment, and called 911 to report she was assaulted. When police arrived, the woman, Cynthia Ore, accused Sherwood of choking her, though he maintained he was only giving her a backrub. No charges were filed because both Sherwood and Ore refused to provide any details.

The details of that incident went unnoticed until 2005, when Veronica Hannevig, who ran against Sherwood on the Constitution Party ticket in 2004, distributed a copy of the police report to several newspapers and television stations. Sherwood initially contended that Ore was merely a "casual acquaintance". He eventually admitted he had a five-year extramarital affair with Ore, but denied abusing her.

Ore later filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against Sherwood, accusing him of repeatedly assaulting her during their relationship. On November 8, 2005, Sherwood and Ore ended the lawsuit by reaching a settlement, the terms of which were not released.

Phil Kellam(D) running for the VA-2 Against Thelma Drake lied about a assault conviction where he punched a woman during a traffic stop.

At least for Sherwood he did not beat up a stranger.

Oh no, what a moron. He should have retired too, along with Sen Burns.

I am hoping other incumbents like Wilson of NM and Reichert of WA will win. If we can hold a lot of the open seats, like Hyde's, then they can still eke out a narrow majority.
