I hope he has a lot of stuff on them all and sings like a canary. Why else wasn’t he gone long ago?

I think she represents the Akron area.
To: Sen Jack S. Fogbound
The most unethical bunch in Congress is trotting out a veritable unknown to call for Rangel to be booted from Congress? LOL
She represents the district that Looney Tune Sherrod Brown represented for years and she's up for re-election.

Cleveland and Akron, yes. Basically she represents Ohio’s 13th Congressional District.

Betty Sutton is about to lose her House seat. Asking Rangel to resign is the first intelligent thing she’s done in her entire Congressional career.

I don’t want Rangel to resign. I want to to fight, kicking and screaming all the way to jail. I want this to be the biggest public spectacle since... well, in my lifetime.
probably wont happen, but I can wish for it, can’t I?
(P.S. You know of course that if the evidence is overwhelming and he is proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt... raise your hand if you think the race card will be played)

Really? How do you think Ohio democrats are doing in the polls right now? This year has shown that Democrats run to the right of their party merely to stay in office.

We've heard this before. And correct, this is just a ploy for votes. That is the entirety of her reason.

And Betty Sutton can claim she had no choice but to attract the racist vote, just like explained away for Sheets Byrd.

From the article:
Sutton has built a reputation as a crusader for congressional ethics. In 2008, she led the fight to pass legislation creating the Office of Congressional Ethics, which now serves as an independent ethics body within the House of Representatives.
In March, Sutton donated to charity the $7,000 given to her campaign by Rangel.
Earlier this year, Sutton called on Rangel to resign as Ways and Means Committee chairman days before the New York Democrat — under pressure from House Democratic leaders — gave up his gavel.

Rangel has dragged this out precisely because he could and Pelosi has been behind him all the way. The Democrats may have miscalculated and painted themselves into a corner ( sort of like when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union). I guess we'll find out. Anyone remember when Rostenkowski got fired?

You nailed it:
June 17: Ohio Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton is in a real race against wealthy care-dealer Tom Ganley, according to a new poll conducted for the National Republican Congressional Committee. Ganley stood at 44 percent to 41 percent for Sutton in the Public Opinion Strategies survey.

Good. It’s about time.
I wonder who his protégé is — does anyone have a good idea? Maybe his chief-of-staff or someone else? I’m sure they already have someone in mind at this point.

Yep, and he probably doesn’t mind retiring in exchange for a public censure or something meaningless like that...
