A Mail Carrier, Not a Candidate

That pesky Hatch Act rears its ugly head again. The Danbury, Conn., News-Times reports that Michael Sneideman, a 35-year-old would-be Republican challenger to Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., has dropped out of the race after being informed that he couldn't be a mail carrier and a candidate for political office at the same time. Sneideman said he didn't even know about the law.
