#1 If it's an affair, what's wrong with it? He didn't coerce her. And it's best to set the bar low these days when speaking of what's 'becoming of a sitting U.S. Representative.'

#2 Story is useless without pictures.

#3 I did go look a picture of her up. Definitely not worth seeing. Not worth wrecking a political career over. Not worth paying for the dubious privilege.

#4 Taylor will be in a run-off, but looks pretty safe. Harp came in a distant third:

Taylor (R) 31,168 48.7
Self (R) 16,959 26.5
Harp (R) 13,319 20.8
Williams (R) 1,721 2.7
Ivanovskis (R) 814 1.3

#5 After generation of the Left trying to shame the rest because of our pols' 'open zipper' behaviors and not caring about their own, they've taught us not to care.

#6 Yes. Larry Craig's "wide stance" as opposed to Katie Hill's salmagundi approach.

At this point I'm pretty jaded about it and I'd imagine so are most other people. Still, as long as one politician thinks they can use that sort of accusation against another, it will remain part of the game...

#7 I'll just vote for my Self.

#8 Establishment Republicans beat every one of my preferred candidates in the primary yesterday.

#9 Taylor just withdrew from the primary. Judge Self is the Candidate now.

#10 Taylor's sex life, so what? But he lied about it. That's disqualifying.

#11 When will they put "None of the above" as an option on ballots. What would be the remedy for such an outcome?

#12 As usual, its not the "crime", its the coverup that get 'em.

#13 When will they put "None of the above" as an option on ballots.

This is the key to fixing the Uni-party. If None Of The Above wins, the election is a do-over, but with new candidates. We're getting tired of the "lesser of two grifters" thing.
