Citation two suggests that since the "race is a toss up" it must lean democratic. However, the link itself suggests that if it is a toss up, any party can win. What does this have to do with the biography of the Congressman? I deleted it, and it should be either "toss up, and anyone's race", or better, not there at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.205.50.252 ( talk • contribs) .
This article is full of bias, and irrelevant political talk about his acceptance of various campaign donations. This is a serious point of view issue, which is why I am changing some of it. There is no need to negatively point out connections to Tom Delay, or the such, as this is an article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.97.177.233 ( talk • contribs) .
Agreed on the bias. I have attempted a rewrite that sticks to the facts. Sodrel is involved in a close race for re-election, and the posting of contributors with comments as to the backgrounds of those contributors is an attempt to link the congressman with the names of those people in a sinister way. I have removed the editorializing of contributors and left a listing of donors. However, it should be noted the listing of contributors is partial, and of the donors listed, attempts to distort the picture citing only the contributors some might find to be negative. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Davhenry ( talk • contribs) .
Exactly what is the point of the list? It takes up a lot of room, and is pretty boring. Why won't a link to another site suffice, particularly because I doubt anyone is keeping this list current? (In particular, why is it notable that Republican organizations have contributed to his campaign?) John Broughton 19:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
For the moment, I removed the reference about Sodrel being an IU alum. (I have access to a database and could not find him in it.) However, given that he grew up in New Albany, it's possible that he attended Indiana University Southeast. If anyone can provide a source, please reinsert it. -- Merope 19:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I think this article continues to have serious bias against Mr. Sodrel. When you include stats such as a 0 rating from NARAL, what about some positive ratings from groups as well? I haven't heard any major discussion about Accenture, so I personally do not believe that that passage should be in the article, but will leave it in to allow further discussion.-- Whistlesgowhoo 02:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
The Bob Perry reference is irrelevant to the biography. There has been absolutely no link shown between Sodrel and Perry. As it seems to suggest illegal coordination, it is a potentially libelous innuendo and should be removed. dclegcounsel 9:55 November 20, 2009
