Sounds much like John Edwards (D) story.
I’m shocked, just shocked, about this happening to a good Democrat.
I thought the rules are: if a good Democrat has an affair, or allegations come up, then we’re supposed to trash the accuser, say she’s a liar/slut, and just move on. If that doesn’t work, then you say it was just a consensual sex matter which “we’ve already talked about and dealt with”, to paraphrase how Bill Clinton would handle such things.
On the other hand, a Republican is such situations is to be crucified.
