Possible “Watergate Factor” re: Republican candidate in light of Lee’s indiscretion?

[FredZarguna]

Yeah, I think that is also a factor. Personally I've always thought the Foley Page scandal breaking just before the election was a much bigger effect in getting Pelosi the speakership than a lot of people believe. Sad to say, but the House Post Office/Check Kiting Scandal might have been a more important contributor to Newt's victory than the Contract.
