I'd likely vote for him if he wer ein my district for one reason only: there are too many Maherns in public service now. <BR/><BR/>But Mr. Keller once ran an apartment company. He stiffed lots of contractors and vendors when he went under. He was accused of mingling funds then.<BR/><BR/>Couldn't he repay the loan Wednesday? That would've eliminated any appearance of nonsense.<BR/><BR/>And don't forget who's running his campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-89887283862240737892007-11-04T15:37:00.000-05:002007-11-04T15:37:00.000-05:00Keller votes with the Dems most of the time......I am surprised that the repubs let him run this time....it is a 60%+ Demo district and it would take a miracle for him to win....but it could happenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-8422571955364089902007-11-04T14:24:00.000-05:002007-11-04T14:24:00.000-05:00I'm no fan of the Dems but Keller has got to go.
