"John Edwards has admitted having an affair with Rielle Hunter in 2006 but vehemently denies being the father of Hunter's child and is willing to take the necessary tests to prove it. Edwards' chances of being Obama's Veep kind of dropped a bit with this announcement. No doubt it will get a lot of play in the traditional media. It will be interesting to see if any enterprising reporter asks John McCain point blank: "Have you ever committed adultery?" It is a germane question because (1) Edwards adultery is big news and (2) McCain has made "moral character" the main issue of his campaign.
McCain may not be too keen to answer yes or no because the truth won't please the family values crowd. While he was a P.O.W. in Vietnam, his first wife, model Carol Shepp, was seriously injured in a horrific traffic accident in which she was thrown through the windshield. She didn't mention this in her letters to him in Vietnam to keep his morale up. When he got back and saw her 4 inches shorter, seriously overweight, and on crutches, he began having affairs. One piece of indisputable evidence is the fact that he obtained a license to marry wealthy beer heiress Cindy Hensley on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to Carol. Here is the L.A. Times story but if you type: McCain adultery to Google, you'll get 500,000 hits. Journalistic standards ought to require that if Edwards cheating on his sick wife is an indication of a deep moral flaw, then McCain cheating on his sick wife ought to be the same thing. And McCain is a candidate for President; Edwards is not".

2. Saw that on electoral-vote this morning, too |

I would love someone with money to catch a video clip of McCain criticizing Edwards for adultery and make an ad out of it. Hell, even if he doesn't and we could just get a bunch of clips of conservative pundits lambasting Edwards for it, it'd make a great attack ad.

That search returns all instances of the words "McCain" and "adultery"
Since Obama is a bigger deal than mCain on the internet, Obama Adultery returns more hits:
Results 1 - 20 of about 640,000 for obama adultery. (0.27 seconds)
And cats are even more popular on the internet than Obama:
Results 1 - 20 of about 763,000 for cat adultery. (0.28 seconds)
The only thing more popular on the internet than sex and cats is computer information:
Results 1 - 20 of about 778,000 for windows adultery. (0.29 seconds)
