TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. - Retired dairy farmers Ben and Phyllis Cole have been arguing over the dinner table about their congressman, Don Sherwood.
Ben Cole, 69, who has known Sherwood for decades, doesn't much care that the four-term U.S representative recently settled a $5.5 million lawsuit that accused him of abusing his former mistress. Cole plans to vote for him in the Republican primary anyway.
But Cole's wife said Sherwood had lost her support. "I'm very upset with him for what he did," said Phyllis Cole, 69. "I don't think it's an example for our youth. I don't care what he's done for our area."
If you're in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area you have an opportunity to see him and Rendell today.
Also, Max Cleland will be campaigning with him at various events over the Memorial Day weekend. If you live in the area make sure you get in touch with the campaign about volunteer opportunities if you have the time and wish to.
