I hope it's someone who comes out of the primary. It would be funny if one of the dems/reps has their campaign destroyed post candidate selection. I wonder what they would do if Romney was the rep candidate and it turned out he was gay?

So you hope that the next president of the US will be elected because the only serious opponent is exposed for some private sexual [censored]? Thats a funny way to value democracy.

OOOkay so I was trolling a bit. His religious conviction turns me off.

I take him as seriously as I take any other politician.

If I remember correctly, the MSM avoided this story like the plague until the public "buzz" grew to the point that they could no longer ignore it.

I personally think that it will be Hillary vs [insert repub here] so I don't really think either of them are any good for this country. While I do value the concept of democracy I don't value presidential elections at all, lesser of two evils etcetera etcetera.

Also, I belong to a 3rd party would would hopefully get some decent publicity is this happens to the dems.

The story has to be about a republican, since if it was about a democrat it would be covered 24/7 by the MSM.

Actually, no I don't, but the fact that he does doesn't bother me.

Oh wait. RP doesn't believe in ghosts either.

Yeh...I have no real credibility but I have heard from what I consider a reliable person that it is "well known" (whatever than means) that Hillary is a lesbian.

Per wiki, Newsweek was sitting on the story. Matt Drudge broke it, and the Washington Post picked it up 4 days later. 5 days after that came the famous "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," line.
