Ryan is going to ask to be beamed up when he loses to Traficant. BTW, if Traficant is released before Election Day, there is NO WAY he is going to lose. We already have Judge Wells recusing herself in the Detore Case citing the EXACT SAME conflict of interest present in the Traficant case. People laughed at Traficant when he said that Judge Well's husband (Charles Clark) had business dealings with the chief prosecution witness. Well, guess what? Judge Wells herself has now admitted (via her recusal in the Detore case) that the conflict of interest did exist. The release of Traficant on appeal is a NO BRAINER.

At best, Traficant might get a new trial, and if he represents himself again, the outcome will be the same. But even if he was released from prison this afternoon, I am certain his political career is over.

If you can provide a poll indicating otherwise, I'd love to see it.

The voters of the district might enjoy tweaking the pollsters, and also showing appreciation for what Trafficant has done for them in the past..and he was deemed to be top-drawer on constituent services...but when the get in the privacy of the voting booth..it's very hard to pull the lever for someone behind bars....besides, if he does get elected, by some miracle...the next Congress will refuse to seat him....
