You know, I think that the corporate scandals could end up playing a bit like the Lewinsky scandal did in 1998.

Gingrich had initially hammered it hard, and it suddenly stopped. As it turns out, he was getting a little action on the side himself. He very quickly backed down, and ultimately, the only folks energized by the whole thing were the Dems and their voters (a portion of the GOP base stayed home), turning what should have been a good GOP year to a major disappointment, and it ultimately took Gingrich out of politics.

Here, I think the same dynamic might be playing out. Only this time, it will be the Dems who mostly back off as it turns out their guys are not exactly innocent on this issue. They could end up going very quiet as Clinton's SecTreas and their 2000 VP nominee are tarred. And their silence will not play well with the "progressives", who have someplace to go (Green Party).

This could be very interesting...

The Rubin "boomlet" pointed out above is very shrewd and impressive.

Say what you want about the RATS, they are a very manipulative bunch of scheming liars.
