(81,261 posts)Well, I'm as Machiavellian as the next guy when it comes to stuff like this. Let's help this one get noisy! She's being touted as one of the "I Love You Wimmmmmmmmmennnnnnnnnn!" GOP bright lights for the future. I would like to see her knocked out of contention - and certainly out of the governor's mansion!
And yes, before anyone goes on about double standards and ken starr and all that - the difference in Bill Clinton's case was indeed that he NEVER held himself up as some sort of moralizing straight-arrow role-model. He never made morals one of his talking points. It never came up with him. It was the busybodies and holier-than-thou's on the CON side that did. It's ALWAYS the busybodies and holier-than-thou's who yap about morality. And they're usually among the biggest amoralists around.
