What is with these guys? There’s Kwame, Spitzer, Patterson and who else?
Puerto Rico governor, Obama supporter, indicted
Puerto Rican Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila (D), who is a superdelegate supporting Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president, was indicted on 19 counts Thursday stemming from financial dealings in three political campaigns.
Acevedo reportedly denied the charges of illegal fundraising and election fraud, and The New York Times reported he will turn himself in to authorities.
The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Acevedo becomes the third Democratic governor in recent days to find himself in an unwelcome spotlight.
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), a supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), resigned earlier this month amid allegations that he was part of a prostitution ring.
Spitzer’s successor, Gov. David Paterson (D), acknowledged in interviews after taking office that he and his wife both engaged in extramarital affairs and that he used drugs in the past.
At this rate they are going to run out of superdelegates to make the nomination choice for the democrats. Unless, of course, they can cast their vote from the state pen???
