| Description | Democratic Congressional candidate Jake Metcalfe, whose campaign had long struggled to get off the ground, said Wednesday he was dropping out of the race after his political advisor was linked to Web sites mocking another candidate.
Metcalfe said the flap over Internet sites targeting Ethan Berkowitz proved too much of a distraction. Berkowitz has been one of Metcalfe's two Democratic primary opponents in the race for Republican Don Young's U.S. House seat.
There are at least five such sites. They're set up with variations on Berkowitz's name like "BerkowitzForCongress.com and EthanBerkowitz.blogspot.com. One purports to be the "Secret Diary of Ethan Berkowitz" but most just redirect users to other sites, including San Francisco gay and lesbian pages. |
