It all depends. If this is a one-off "scandal" published by the National Enquirer, this race shuttles along much the same as before.

If there's a followup with more substance, then he's sunk.

I suspect this is a "death by a thousand cuts" story. Under my scenario, there will be a steady drip-drip-drip of allegations. There is an awful lot of circumstantial "evidence" in the blogosphere.

I'm wondering what the NE has lined up. Maybe nothing. Maybe a kill shot.

Well ... they are trying to sell magazines. The slow drip approach allows them to milk it for a month.
