[William McKinley]

OK, so he is a cad who has problems living up to his marital vows. This pales in comparison to the fact that he slandered his fellow veterans and has been on the wrong side of every defense and intelligence related issue for over 30 years. Come to think of it, it pales in comparison to the fact that he is the biggest beneficiary of special interest money, it pales in comparison to Torricelli raising money for him, it pales in comparison to his economic liberalism and his love of wealth redistribution, it pales in comparison to his lack of charitable giving, it pales in comparison to his flip-flops on most issues.

Infidelity is a serious matter between a husband and wife. But as far as this election goes, this is small potatos.

[HRoarke]

Definitely not small potatoes...Clinton got away with it because the Dems had no other choice, they had to back him. I don't think they want to defend this type of behavior again, especially since they owe Kerry nothing. Clinton wouldn't have been reelected after Monica and depending on the details of this, no way Kerry wins one either.

Screw him...errr...I mean...

[Future Snake Eater]

This pales in comparison to the fact that he slandered his fellow veterans and has been on the wrong side of every defense and intelligence related issue for over 30 years.

Too true, but that doesn't much matter in the short-attention-spanned "swing" voters. "What have you done to/for us lately?" they all ask.

That is why this is an important story. Infidelity is distasteful to most Americans when it comes to an unproven candidate like Kerry.
