Steve Southerland Again Paints Gwen Graham as D.C. Insider

U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., took off the gloves on Monday and went after Democratic challenger Gwen Graham.

Southerlands team followed up on attacks made against Graham last week, hitting her for her work for a Washington law firm and her role on Democratic presidential campaigns and releasing their take on her resume. While Graham denies she worked as a lobbyist for a law firm based out of Washington, Southerlands team insists she did.

Gwen Graham talks like a Washington outsider, but dont let her fool you, said Luke Strickland, Southerland's campaign manager, on Monday. Youd be hard-pressed to find a first-time candidate whos more entrenched in the ways of Washington, D.C. Ms. Graham continues to dodge the truth with the agility of a seasoned politician, but she cant cover up her record as a D.C. lobbyist and liberal political consultant. If Gwen Graham will lie to voters about something as cut-and-dried as her own resume, how can we ever trust her in Congress?
