Why is it the electorate finds morality when it is a Republican who screws up??

Come on...I want a GOP Senate as much as anyone else, but Hutchinson's problems in AR are all his own doing. When you run as a Christian Conservative Family Values ordained minister and then get to Wasgington DC and divorce your wife of 39 years and marry some hotty from your office you have to expect that some of the folks back home are going to be a little miffed. Don't put the choir robes on if you can't sing the song.

In a way, I hope all that is true so that all the voter indignation is justified. After all, character does matter. However, I have been unable to shake-out the circumstantial facts. I don't know the issues involving his split with his wife (honestly, I don't know if she dumped him!), nor do I know that his new one is a "hotty"; or if the "hotty" was the cause of the break-up. I have asked for help - certainly such a matter must have a well documented chronology.

I still come back to - what is the greater good for the electorate and the country? Maybe the answer lies above. Maybe not.

That's right. It's the hypocrisy, not the divorce itself, that is killing Hutchinson, IMO.

It is people like you who helped elect the Clintons each and every time! I don't want to hear about it ever again if Hillary Clinton is elected President. I will be in your face at every chance I get to remind you that your "morals" helped put her in office.

Please tell me what you have gained for punishing Hutchinson for getting a DIVORCE that was UNCONTESTED by his ex-wife?! His son supports him and I think he knows a lot more about the situation than any of us do!

I don't want to marry the guy just have him elected as senator instead of MARK PRYOR supported by HILLARY CLINTON'S HILLPAC...

She will need MARK PRYOR when she runs for President! Believe me he will be there for her!!! GAG!
