I would call him a predator,with no regard for his family, his nation,his self respect,his constituents,and sadder than all that.The democrats are worried about a special election ,with the possibility of Gary Condidit losing his seat in congress. Sad Sad Sad ENOUGH is ENOUGH we should all be so fed up we shouldn't take it anymore Condit has put Dems in quandary July 15, 2001 BY DON THOMPSON SACRAMENTO, Calif.--State Democratic leaders meeting here Saturday were under increasing pressure to condemn U.S. Rep. Gary Condit for his relationship with missing Washington intern Chandra Levy. But they also need him to complete his term so they don't lose his seat in a special election. Condit's San Joaquin Valley district was the only Democrat-held district in the state to back Republican President Bush in the November election. Republicans already are lining up for the seat, while Democratic politicians are diplomatically expressing interest should Condit's seat become vacant. "There's blood in the water, and every politician is out there looking at his seat," said Modesto Mayor Carmen Sabatino. Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) said he's not sure whether Democrats should condemn Condit. "Let's let the facts speak for themselves at the end of the day, and we're not there yet," he said. "This is America, still." On July 6, in a third police interview, the 53-year-old congressman said he and Levy, 24, had an intimate relationship, a police source has said. Condit has denied any connection with her April 30 disappearance, and police have said he is not a suspect. Even so, there are calls for Democrats to ease Condit out of office, or for the congressman to resign, said Bruce Cain, director of the Institute for Governmental Studies at the University of California's Berkeley campus. "The question is no longer whether he is finished. The question is when," Cain said. As one of the original "Blue Dog" Democrats who often vote with Republicans on fiscal issues, Condit received attention from Bush--until Levy disappeared 11 weeks ago. Democrats would likely lose the district in a special election, said Tony Quinn, a former redistricting expert for Republicans. suntimes.com
