New Evidence Links John Raese To Infamous All-White Country Club
WASHINGTON -- Several weeks ago, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh appeared to have inadvertently harmed West Virginia Senate candidate John Raese, when he noted that the two belonged to the same country club in Palm Beach.
Membership at Everglades doesn't come without political costs. It was a major point of contention when Limbaugh was trying to purchase a stake of ownership in the St. Louis Rams' NFL franchise. Joseph Kennedy quit the club when his son became president, as did Georgia GOP Senate candidate Guy Millner when he ran against Max Cleland in 1996.
But Raese's campaign refused to deny that he was a member of this club. Not only that, they refused to admit his membership as well. Rather, when The Huffington Post published a piece following up on Limbaugh's statement, a spokesman mocked the fact that there was no concrete evidence.
