JD Hayworth (R-AZ) - it just gets deeper and deeper
"A J.D. Hayworth representative whose remarks at a candidates forum last week sparked a walkout from the event once coordinated betting for a criminal gambling ring, court records show."

<snip>

"Tratt and his wife, Irit, raised hackles last week while representing Hayworth at a candidate forum organized by the National Council of Jewish Women. Attendees took offense to some of the Tratts' statements, which they said questioned their faith.

Tratt, who is Jewish, said Hayworth's opposition to abortion made Hayworth a "more observant Jew" than many of those present, prompting about three-quarters of the remaining audience to storm out of the northeast Phoenix synagogue.

Afterward, when some audience members confronted the couple, Irit Tratt reportedly said, "No wonder there are anti-Semites." The remark was heard by Kathy Shayna Shocket, a Republic columnist who moderated the event."

Hayworth campaign representatives said Monday that they did not know Jonathan Tratt's criminal history before sending him to a debate to fill in for the Republican congressman seeking re-election in District 5.

2. Just for fun can you spot the misleading part of the article?
"Tratt, 48, did not respond to messages left at his home and business and on his cellphone. The real estate investor, who has contributed more than $77,000 to Republicans and Democrats since 1999, also did not respond to an e-mail."

Care to guess how much of that $77,000 went to Republicans and how much went to Democrats?
