Georgia’s ethically tainted candidates for governor
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has had a lot to say about the ethical cloud above Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA), who is campaigning to be Georgia's next governor. But at least two other gubernatorial hopefuls in the Peach State have ethically challenged backgrounds.
According to TPMMuckraker:
Two long-shot candidates in the state's governor's race were suspended as school-teachers after allegations of inappropriate conduct with female high-school students.
One of those, Republican Ray McBerry, leads a Georgia secessionist group and is hovering around 2 percent in GOP primary polls. McBerry already last weekend issued a hilarious pre-emptive denial of those charges ...
The other, Democrat Carl Camon, is the mayor of Ray City, and polls around 2 percent in the Democratic primary.
