Democrat John Dougherty, who is running against three other Democrats for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Republican John McCain, launches a Huffington Post blog:
Why would an investigative journalist who made a decent living uncovering one scandal after another decide to enter the seamy world of politics?The answer is simple: I'm fed up with money-driven politics that brought us to the brink of financial collapse, left the Gulf of Mexico drenched in oil, has given us wars without end, and a 19th Century fossil-fuel-based economy that could reduce America to a second-rate power in our lifetimes.
