Look, THE numero uno Democrat of this generation got completely away with perjury, obstruction of justice, subborning perjury and conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice (not to mention a few things like treason).
This is "only about sex."
Why in h*ll do you think a Democrat is gonna resign over a sex scandal? Where were you the last five years?
Of course. What was I thinking??
Well, Patton at least knocked himself out of any run against Jim Bunning (R) our junior Senator. We Republicans have both Senate seats and all but one House seat, with the only Dem. (Lucas) making noises like he's going to "convert" to Republican.
Actually, Patton not resigning increases the chance a Republican will retake the Governorship in the uncoming (offyear) election.
