Despite Scandals, Lewis Enjoys a Lock on SeatI think you can call this the “look Ma, no hands” school of politics.
Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) looks set to hold on to his House seat this November, despite being dogged by a brewing political scandal. Not only that, he’s going to do it without ever hiring a campaign manager, setting up a Web site, or renting campaign headquarters. He has done very little campaigning.
That’s power, dear reader.
Should he begin to fight, he’s got a $1.6 million war chest to fund it — if it isn’t drained by the mounting legal fees of being a subject of a federal probe.
Of course, the Dems are hardly fighting him for the seat — they’ve put up a challenger who boasts a total budget of under $5,000.
