Bad Behavior Leaves Cox Open to Extortion

Bad Behavior Leaves Cox Open to Extortion
"That’s not the case here in Michigan, where one of our state’s most famous philanderers is still taken seriously.
In January, The Oakland Press named Michigan gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox one of their “Top 10 Cheaters” of the decade.
In 2005, Cox held a press conference to announce that he had taken part in an extramarital affair in 2003, while serving as the state’s Attorney General.
Cox only went public with the affair after trial lawyer Geoffrey Fieger allegedly threatened to expose it if Cox did not drop an investigation into Fieger’s alleged campaign finance violations.
One can only wonder what other secrets leave Mike Cox vulnerable to extortion"

This seems to be a hit-site set up by Cox opponents but it does ask legitimate, unanswered questions.

Last year, I asked the Cox campaign how he would handle the uncomfortable questions that surely would be asked by the media and his political opponents.

They dodged and tried to "shout" me down, even calling me at home and calling my political friends to shut me up.

Now it appears to be coming out again.

And Cox has yet to address the political problem.

How will he do in a statewide debate?
