@ossobuco,
Duly noted, Osso. I read through some of the "viewer comments" on various stories. They are often quite brutal. On this story there are comparisons to Clinton, JFK, Barney Frank and others from both parties.
In my part of the country, this kind of story will make a difference in how people vote. We may tolerate scandals in our own families but not in the lives of people we elect. Go figure.
As an aside, Romney said that he will come out before the Nevada vote with a comment on the notion of allowing on-line gambling in that state. It is lose-lose situation for him and he should say nothing. The gambling industry is a big employer in Nevada but as a Mormon he is opposed to gambling. It is not a national issue.
