I posted this in the thread in Congressional Elections but it fits here too:
TN-04 News!
A watchdog group has filed a complaint about with the Tennessee Department of Health over DesJarlais's conduct.
Mitt Romney's campaign quietly removed DesJarlais's endorsement from their website last week, without making a comment on the matter.
DesJarlais has responded to everything by highlighting that it was a difficult time for him, in the midst of a long two-year divorce, but emphasizes that she ended up not being pregnant so she didn't get an abortion. He also points out that he's been happily married for the last decade, and claims these allegations were brought up by "a disgruntled, defeated ex-congressman, a vindictive ex-wife, and a desperate Democratic candidate." TNGOP has released a statement supporting DesJarlais, but when reporters asked Governor Haslam and Senator Alexander about it they both dodged the question and made no comment in support of the Congressman.
Stewart's first ad is up. It attacks DesJarlais for voting to raise taxes, trying to "destroy Medicare", increasing the deficit, opposing pay raises for soldiers, and "chickening out" of a debate with Stewart.
And here's some more fun facts! (From the links in the quote above, mostly. Emphasis below is my own)
What a great guy!
