3. While I don't like McCain for reasons othr than his alleged...
pecadillos, I find it interesting that he got caught up in a foolish scandal, one that well may signal his "fall" from grace as the the apparent GOP nominee.

In the eyes of the GOP, it is better to have murdered someone, taken bribes or aid and abet torture than get caught up in anything have to do w/sex. For the current GOP guidlines, death seems to be fine, but if you had an act of infidelity, you are sacrificed upon the Altar of Eros.

After what they've done in the past to D's over anything sexual, (even though far more R's have bene "caught" in interesting situations), they have destroyed any possibility of "defending" McCain, even against such a vacuous story.

Do I care if McCain goes down becasue of this? Not really, for an R to win the GE, it would border on the miraculous at this point anyway.
