SEX SCANDAL TO HIT CAMPAIGN... DEVELOPING...

[OrioleFan]

Elizabeth Warren caught having sex with cigar store indian?

[PA Engineer]

The One Big Snag in the story is that the story comes from hookers — a couple of them, I hear — and their credibility is, well. They’re hookers. It’s not Gold Standard.

The credibility of a powerful Democratic Senator or the credibility of a hooker...give me a second here....i'm having a hard time with this one. Can I go with door number 3?

[nclaurel]

Hatch or Feinstein and sex scandal just don’t go together...oh what an image.

[Jane Long]

Powerful Senator....Franken’s not.

[ConservativeInPA]

I agree with #2, so who are the choices? Nelson? Cardin? Stabenow? McCaskill? Tester? Menendez? Brown? Casey? Sanders? Cantwell? Feinstein?

I am not sure if any of them are powerful, other than Cardin or Feinstein. It it is a late night release, it is targeted for the west coast. But I am pretty sure Feinsteim is asexual.

[rfp1234]

Reid's not running this year, is Durbin? Feinstein is both running and powerful but I can't imagine anything sex related. Maybe her hubby, but wouldn't he be 80 or older?

Given the Daily Caller's recent fizzles, it more likely involves a staffer, not the senator. The only thing big about it would be if Sen. Whoever tried to cover it up, via hush money or other means.

[kabar]

Obama was never a powerful senator. I am hoping it is Bill Nelson.

[Jane Long]

Could it be that this was a few years back and the Senator is now a President?

Ooooh, you're sneaky :)

[monkeypants]

I don’t think Brown would be considered a “powerful” senator. Must be someone that’s been in place longer.

Also, Drudge says the Daily Caller is going to put this out - so it’s most likely about a DimRat Powerful Senator.

Dims up for re-election:

Daniel Akaka (Hawaii)*
Jeff Bingaman (New Mexico)*
Sherrod Brown (Ohio)
Maria Cantwell (Washington)
Benjamin Cardin (Maryland)
Thomas Carper (Delaware)
Robert Casey (Pennsylvania)
Kent Conrad (North Dakota)*
Diane Feinstein (California)
Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota)
Herb Kohl (Wisconsin)*
Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut)*
Joe Manchin (West Virginia)
Claire McCaskill (Missouri)
Robert Menendez (New Jersey)
Bill Nelson (Florida)
E. Benjamin Nelson (Nebraska)*
Bernard Sanders (I-Vermont)
Debbie Stabenow (Michigan)
Jon Tester (Montana)
Jim Webb (Virginia)*
Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island)

* = not seeking reelection.

This is from another blogger. Hinting that it's a democrat sinnator.

Does Nelson chair a committee?

[GlockThe Vote]

What about gilibrand?

[offduty]

I thought about Brown since he is locked in a battle in Ohio, but I am thinking it is someone with a higher profile like either Schumer or Durbin. Both of these sleaze bags would be candidates and since Schumer was interviewed during the Sandy coverage with a younger female staffer, I’m betting it’s him

[SparkyBass]

Poor Ol’ Kaw-Liga!

[Right Wing Assault]

Ooooh, you're sneaky :)

I'm probably also wrong. But is fun to think about.

[1035rep]

Could it be Rangel?

In May 2009, the non-profit National Legal and Policy Center filed an ethics complaint against Rangel and other members of Congress for trips, taken in 2007 and 2008 to Caribbean islands. The trips had been sponsored by Carib News Foundation, a New York non-profit funded by corporations with interests before Congress and the Ways and Means Committee

After a February 2010 House Ethics Committee report criticizing him for taking sponsored Caribbean trips, the White House backed off its prior support of Rangel somewhat, and within days 14 Democratic members of Congress publicly called on Rangel to step aside as Ways and Means chair.

I would be very surprised if this has anything to do with Mitt Romney.

I was thinking more along the lines of the joke that Jay Leno told about, don’t ask, don’t tell making a come back, but not in regard to gays in the military.

I wouldn’t put it past the Obama people to bring up the fact that Chris Stevens was gay and try to blame the attack on his homosexuality, counting on conservatives being willing to accept that explanation.

Smoking with Wood?

[Toespi]

My money is on Sherrod Brown, Ohio. Bitter race going on with josh mandel

[tsowellfan]

Could it be...

Nelson?

Perhaps a story that involves a Senator flying down to a big donor’s place in the Caribbean for orgies. Prostitutes may be involved?

Prostitutes –– a couple of them, maybe are talking.

I guess we’ll soon find out.

Maybe it’s Harry Reid... no evidence needed for him :)
