It seems that the only thing left is to count on the Democrats to overplay their hand on this.

There are two words for any Democrats who try to politicize this:
Gerry Studds (D-MA). He actually had sex with a 17 year old male page (and made sexual advances to two other underage pages the same year), didn't resign and showed absolutely no remorse about it. Of course, being a Democrat, he was reelected.

Many borderline voters will be so disgusted they will just reflexly pull the Democrat lever and vote for the party. Our leadership, it was just reported on Fox knew about this since the spring, and ALLOWED this to simmer just beneath the surface. Did they not thing the dems would exploit this? Is that the political accumen the leadership has? Sheeeeeesh!
You know, though, the difference between the Republicans and the Dems is the following: Republicans are truly disgusted and are honor-bound to remove one of their own. If Foley was a dem, they would be circling the wagon and trying to make excuses for him.
The dems are actually happy about that this has happened. They don't give a tinkers-damn about this 16 year old kid. They see this only as a political opportunity to exploit to the max. That is difference of substance in the dems and the Republicans. So, let's take a bitter dose of medicine and try to get as many Republicans elected as possible. God Almight! Nancy Peloci, Speaker of the House. What a frightening thought with which to contend.
