This poll was taken before he admitted the affair (today) and before the Palm Beach Post rescinded its endorsement and called on him to drop out (today). What will tomorrow bring?

I’ve read nothing about it. But even if the worst happens in the Presidential race, it should fall our way. I forgot about that one.

Still look at how the media is treating this as opposed to the Foley scandal which was page 1 news for weeks. I've only heard a couple mentions of this, usually late in the newscast.

A sex scandal is only career ending when it involves a Republican, when it's a democrat it is "private" and "only sex". Mahoney will probably go to "rehab" for a week and all will be forgiven...

True, but this is a Republican district.
Don’t forget, Mahoney only won by a couple of points, and Mark Foley’s name was still on the ballet.

Ha. The rats are easily 5 times more corrupt on balance, possibly 10 times.
