He was a war hero, author, great speaker, and was accused of forcing his hair cutter to come to his house where he photographed her in inappropriate poses. Her husband was a union operative and he might have been set-up but he did the deed. Unions hated him because of his right-to-work stance, which was overturned by state vote as soon as he resigned from the governorship. It is sheer ego that he brings to the table at this point.
Dems will probably cross vote in the primary to make sure he is on the ticket and run a woman against him.
Self promoting nut-job Democrat got to be Gov by pretending to be a conservative. Nutty affair and who cares if there was no real blackmail. This is a Dem trap.
