RICHMOND, Va. –  The potential next mayor of Virginias capital city is also its most colorful politician, a man who made national news for winning re-election as a state lawmaker while spending nights in jail because of a sex scandal.    Two years ago, Joe Morrissey pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor after prosecutors accused him of having sex with a 17-year-old girl. Now hes the front-runner in Richmonds mayoral election while embroiled in another sex-tinged scandal, this time battling last-minute allegations that he exposed himself to a legal client and sent her lewd text messages.    Polls have shown Morrissey leading a crowded field.   Morrissey said his resilience is part of why hes so popular with much of Richmond and so unpopular with the citys elites.
