I would think that if he was storing undercover informants in his freezer, the charge would be murder. ” … he faces federal corruption charges on at least eight counts of bribery, supported by the FBI’s seizure of nearly $100,000 in marked bills from an undercover informant that Jefferson stored in his freezer …”

It was the closest they've come to electing a congressional candidate though. Of the votes cast on election day, Jim Gilchrist won.

They raised well over 1 million dollars for the raise, for above and beyond any other race for the CP (the closest being Slovenec's run for US Senate in Ohio,he raised 700k). darolew,

Good thing that it was posted on such a popular blog - I wouldn't expect it to be there. The whole article from the Huffington Post is a good read.
