Hey, John. Would you mind giving your take on whether Kankles can be charged? Will there be any legal ramifications? It just kills me that she might get away with it. Sort of like Nifong getting away with it, if that had happened.
The only damage that this situation will do is political -- over and above whatever money damages Peter Paul can collect from the case itself, but that won't dent the Clintons' bankroll. The optimistic side is that Clinton (her) is up against a negative view by nearly half of the population, per the recent polls.
The events in this instance may be enough to push her over the tipping point that she cannot now, and cannot ever, be elected President. It is as if it takes not just one Chappaquiddick, but a series of them, to bury finally and for all time the ambitions of the Clintons, just like the original Chappaquiddick buried the presidential ambitions of Ted Kennedy.
Let's hope that is the outcome.
