Charles Rangel

Republicans have been pounding politically vulnerable U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Nanticoke) over the fundraising help he's received from embattled U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY).

But Kanjorski has given no indication that he's bowing to pressure to distance himself from Rangel. At a fundraiser for Kanjorski in Washington next week, Rangel will be the main attraction.

"Charlie Rangel is a distinguished member of Congress who has done much for this country," Kanjorski campaign spokesman Ed Mitchell told The New York Times. "We're happy to be associated with him.”
