ELECTION 2006: 10th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Impact of settlement details on campaigns unclear

By KRIS WERNOWSKY [e-mail]

Sherwood, a four-term Republican, and his Democratic challenger Chris Carney entered the final days of the campaign with Carney holding an 8.6-point lead in the latest poll conducted by Lycoming College.

Neither the Sherwood nor Carney camps would say if Thursday’s Associated Press report would alter their campaign strategies. The AP said that said an unnamed source claimed that Sherwood agreed to pay Cynthia Ore $500,000 in exchange for her silence in the months leading up to the election. The agreement was reached in November 2005.

“We had no details of the settlement up until now, so it was somewhat enlightening, as I’m sure it was to people across the district,” Jennings said.

The action stems from Ore’s allegations that Sherwood choked her and continually abused her throughout their five-year relationship. However, O’Donnell refused to say whether the settlement amount, attributed to an anonymous source familiar with the case, was accurate.

According to the report, Ore received less than half of the money promised in the settlement and will not receive the remainder until after Tuesday’s election. Part of the requirements of the agreement says that if Ore speaks publicly about the case, she will forfeit some of the money, the story said.

1. Sherwood is doomed period

And Ore is waitin' for her money

3. What incentive does he have to pay AFTER the election?

She better take her $250,000 and invest it well. It's all she's getting.

2. Couldn't she do something creative?

I'm sure she hates the bastard just as much as we do.

She can't "speak publicly about the case". However, can she leak documents? Can she
give documents to someone else, who can themselves--speak about the case?

She should find a way to screw him. Obviously, he's screwed her seven ways to Sunday
and routinely abused her. She ought to put her thinking cap on and beat this guy at
his own game.

Then again, maybe she should have the decency to forfeit the money and allow the American
people to understand the kind of person for whom they are voting.

4. Well, later this evening...

she may get paid and we may hear the full story. Although I have no faith in either.
