Sure, but all the breathless "Do I make you horny." reporting, and people don't even have all the facts.
Typically base voters are depressed when their party suffers a serious scandal, as they have now.
I keep hearing that, but does anyone have any figures showing that? I guess what I'm getting at is all the doom and gloom forecasts seem to be so much liberal hoohah aimed at depressing our base by reporting our base is depressed.
I haven't seen any poll numbers yet. We probably won't know until election day. But Bush's DUI, and his poor reaction to the revelation, depressed his turnout in 2000. Knowing the Republican base, which is disproportionately Christian, they don't take kindly to their leaders trolling for teens.
History tells me that this will matter in a significant way. The only question is how much.
