http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/maine-senate-gop-challenger-domestic-violence-conviction-shows-integrityIn 2003 Bennett was convicted of attacking his then-wife. A district court convicted him of Class D Assault. Bennett fought the conviction but in 2004 a Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the lower court "sufficient evidence does exist in the record to support his conviction," according to the Bangor Daily News. At the press conference Bennett stressed his innocence.
Bennett went on to say that that his time in jail demonstrates how much character he has.
he's running against Susan Collins.

Some Democrats didn't care about that, so they stayed home. And the baggers elected them anyway. For sure, this will garner plenty of votes this time, too.
It's part of both sides wantting to to their 'stick it to the man' routine being against big government, and for the baggers, a way of sticking it to uppity wimen.
The same ones posting pictures of Obama with a rope around his neck posted pictures of women with black eyes and memes on them saying it was the right thing to do to shut them up if they talked back.
That's the bagger voter in a nutshell. I hope enough liberals vote to eliminate this guy and Collins, too.
