As was said above, DUI in 2000. People stayed home.

Yes, people have been upset about spending. Yes, they've been upset about illegal immigration. I'm one of them on the last. But character is just as an important issue to a large segment of the base and it's clear the Dems/MSM plotted to find a way to make them stay home the way they did in 2000. Sickening, really, that some people allowed the abuse of children for political timing but there it is.

Will these same voters sit home this time? I don't know. I came out and voted for G.W.B. anyway after the DUI, but I wasn't happy he hadn't shared it earlier. I can't predict if they'll stay home or begrudingly come out and vote. You can't either. It's clearly what the Dems are hoping though.

I find it hard to believe that you sincerely think that even one social conservative in the country will stay home over this. Well, at least any that aren't in Foley's district.

I thought the DUI was a non-event in 2000 too.

I'm waiting to find out whether Foley ever actually did anything with any of the current or former pages. No evidence yet, no Manica, no blue ~~dress~~ cardigan.

It's a non-starter for the election. I think it'll be forgotten by next week when the polls show it doesn't hurt the GOP with their base at all.
