Ish is right, the airing of the Braun scandals actually preceded her election. She went up against two white males (including the incumbent Al "the pal" Dixon), who split the white vote, in the Democratic primary and won with about 36% of the overall vote. The Republicans did not think that they could beat Dixon and slated a sacrificial lamb, Rich Williamson. Williamson financed a good chunk of his own campaign. Braun was a horrible Senator and was doomed the second time around, regardless of her scandals.

As for Ryan, there was only a whiff of scandal prior to his election. The whiff was enough for me to pass on making any selection for governor that year. Hopefully, Ryan goes to jail.
