Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald's campaign to unseat Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) hasn't been going very well; ... FitzGerald spent Friday having to answer questions about a 2012 incident in which he and a woman who was not his wife were found in a car in a parking lot at 4:30 a.m. ... In the Friday afternoon press conference, he became angry when a reporter asked if everyone in the car was fully clothed. "I'm not even going to answer that," FitzGerald said. "It's disgusting."

LOL. Someone called the police. They have a recording where the guy who called it in said: "I don't know if they're having sex in the parking lot or what they're doing here," The police report proves it was Fitz and a pretty good looking Irish lass.

Aw, so that’s what’s his name I couldn’t remember. All I knew was a DEM from around Cleveland was running against Kasich here in Ohio. Have to be mighty suspicious of candidates from that area - not that Kasich is the greatest governor ever, but, I think he’s the better choice of the two. Fitz - what’s his name came to our city in June or July to try and stir up trouble for Kasich - because of problems one of our largest employers was having. He tried to blame Kasich for what was happening in this company. He had about 20 or 25 people stand around and listen to him bloviate - but most felt the governor has no logs on this fire - its the company having hard times in this obama economy. Nice to know another D is unfaithful to his wife. Such a rare breed those DEMS are./s

How do potential candidates convince themselves that things like this will not be made public during a campaign?

Every election, the same thing.

A candidate is shocked, angered, embarrassed, or befuddled when these indiscretions or crimes are revealed.

Regardless of the party, if their own families cannot trust them, how is the public to do so?

A car-rear enhancing move for any democrat. At least it was a woman...

To those of us who believe character matters.

At least it was a Female and not a Male as is the case, and continues to be, with Obama.
