I know Ensign and have worked on three of his campaigns. He IS not a guy who goes out and trumpets family values and never has been. He is about the foolishness in DC and how to remove as much of it as possible.

"I know Ensign and have worked on three of his campaigns. He IS not a guy who goes out and trumpets family values and never has been. He is about the foolishness in DC and how to remove as much of it as possible."

That's why I qualified it, with "I can't speak to Ensign directly".

But I do not understand why all this breathless, high drama over a man who was separated and had an affair. "Ensign is to announce at a press conference...", "Ensign resigns GOP leadership".

This is a family tragedy, not a national scandal. Enough with the public personal guilt, mea culpa's and public punishment from the GOP. He didn't murder anyone or steal from his constituency. Both he and the State GOP need to STFU and move out of the public limelight on this! It's no one else's business!
