Ensign made a very bad decision, and it will damage his reputation greatly.
However, this will have zero impact on the GOP as a whole. None. In the midst of the crumbling economy and Obama’s agenda, this will get scant attention beyond a week or so on MSNBC and lefty blogs. It is beyond a stretch to try to attach this to any other Republican in the country.
Get real.
Very well said, plus Ensign is not up again until 2012. But I think this will affect any presidential aspirations he may have.
