Some folks insist that character counts. In the high roller environment of TV filtered presidential politics, I am not so sure it is character as much as a facade of character, that really counts with the voters. By ignoring the downsides of Senator “OH” the MSM is setting him up for a horrible fall and hard landing. I am not certain that would be such a good thing for the nation. By ignoring Senator McCain, the MSM is setting itself up for an unhappy ending. We shall see what we choose but not necessarily what we want to see.

I have no desire to see the pictures of lady in question above, I certainly didn’t want to know about the life and high times of the call girl in the NY Governors mansion, I really don’t want to know if Jack and MM ever got past first base, I don’t care how wide the stance of certain representatives is or if a certain senator tried to pick up my son or someones son or daughter as a page. I expect the party the legislative branch and the FBI to help me vet the bastards in the first place, and set standards high enough to keep the fanny grabbing to a minimum. It is easy to tell which party tries at least to keep its members clean or, failing that get rid of them. It is blatantly obvious which party does not. The GOP lost the 96 mid term election not because of an adverse reaction to certain congressmen and senators, but because the members of the house and senate were not being fiscally responsible. unless that message gets across the GOP will continue to lose seats and McCain will lose the Presidential election.

Frankly, no one is concerned about Edwards fate. As a trial lawyer I guess most folks already believe he’s going to hell.
