Ohio Candidate Calls It Quits

August 9, 2006 | ISSUE 42•32

Congressman Bob Ney, who is under investigation for his dealings with lobbyist Jack Abramoff, has abandoned his campaign for reelection. What do you think?

The Bob Ney I know is a man of integrity. The Bob Ney I know is a man of honor. The Bob Ney I know is a doctor in Sarasota, Florida.

Vicki Shields
Union Organizer
Ney is only backing out because he wants to spend more time with his family—all of whom he bills at $700 an hour.

Bob Partenheimer
Meat Cutter
Can you blame him? Being a congressman isn't nearly as lucrative since this whole corruption crackdown.
