Adam Sullivan had big plans to take down Congressman Jerry Nadler, who, as chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution, refuses to hold hearings to investigate the impeachment of President Bush. Last month Sullivan, a director and actor, announced his bid to oust the incumbent, and impeachment activists began rallying to the cause. Just one problem – Sullivan had registered as a Democrat far too late to run in November. He formally quit the race today but still has Nadler in his crosshairs, saying, “His outright contempt for the process of impeachment makes him… complicit in our nation’s current suffering and the assaults on our freedoms.”

Activists pushing for the impeachment of President Bush were dealt a blow this week in their quest to unseat West side Democratic congressman Jerry Nadler. His opponent Adam Sullivan – whose nascent campaign arose out of outrage at Nadler’s refusal to hold hearings to investigate impeaching Bush – has run into a little snag. In the rush to launch his campaign, Sullivan, who previously had no political affiliation, didn't understand that it was too late to register as a Democrat and run in November! Sharon Lynch from the Sullivan camp tells us he’s having a meeting tonight to decide the future of the campaign: “We're grassroots activists with full time jobs outside politics; in the rush to field a challenger we missed this.”
