I'm leery, having read the article and her blog. I'm not attacking the stepdaughter, although I do think she perhaps has “issues” as the youth say today, but I am skeptical, it's possible that it's the defense attorney in me. My skepticism has nothing to do with politics.
Unfortunately, too many think that to be skeptical is a personal attack. It's not. I don't know the girl, but her story doesn't jive with me. It's not a personal attack to point that out. Too often, I've seen empathy for “victims” overrule any objectivity that one would use to judge the facts. The more terrible and horrendeous the claims the harder it is to look at things objectively. However, just as you say some are quick to attack the stepdaughter because of “politics” of the third party candidate, others are just as quick to assume the guilt of Mr. Jenerette because of sheer horror of the claims she makes.
It's a shame regardless, that any baggage would follow the candidate, as she is merely a third party, who took no part in the events, and actually, I happen to like her politics. I wish the candidate the best and the rest will be what it will be.

My concern was that FReeper Jorge (RIP), Van’s brother, came on the thread in support of the stepdaughter. You have to read through the old threads.
We’ll see.
