You could be right. I can also see problems for Hillary on this issue. So far, no breath of sexual scandal has tainted her during this election season (although there were rumors of past philandering when Mr. Clinton was president).

Thing is, I believe it is probably Rudy or Hillary, since they have the most to lose on this. Probably Hillary, since Rudy already has sexual skeletons in his past. OTOH, it might even be Mitt (though I very seriously doubt it). However, Rudy would probably be the least hurt by such a scandal.

The Dems are running so paranoid about Hillary in first place, that it wouldn't take much to sink her, in spite of her "unsurmountable" lead. They already have doubts of her winning in the General, and such a scandal would confirm their suspicions.

OTOH, with Barack doing his best imitation of one with hoof-in-mouth disease, and with the self-inflicted wounds generated by the Edwards campaign, this may not make any difference at all in the primaries.

But I betcha many independents would be turned off.

If it’s the beltway press crowd who is in the know, then it may be assumable that the politician is DC based - and that leaves Rudy and Mitt out. Fred, as well.

McCain would fit the bill, as would Hillary or Obama.

heaven knows that to the DC press crowd, anyone outside the beltway is insignificant in their minds.
