Gay relationship may derail Babeu's political prospects
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu built a reputation as a rising, conservative star by taking a hard-line stance against illegal immigration, attacking the Obama administration and appearing alongside Sen. John McCain in a 2010 re-election ad in which McCain urged federal officials to just "complete the danged fence."
But on Saturday, Babeu's conservative image took a beating as he was forced to acknowledge publicly that he is gay and was involved in a relationship with a Mexican immigrant who has said the sheriff threatened to have him deported if he revealed their relationship.
