Oh my.

Even the cleanest looking people have skeletons in the closet. I never would've thought it. Now who is Barack going to pick?

These politician guys have such fucking egos, it's not surprising that Edwards has a jump-off.

As much as I like Barack, I'm pretty sure he's got women on the side too.

[Heyyu]

Well it's good thing Barack hadn't chosen Edwards cause this would have absolutely doomed his campaign. Nothing is worse for a politician than getting your hand caught in another girl's cookie-jar during a campaign. The one rule of thumb for politicians: If you're going to have an affair, have it a long ass time ago (like with John McCain). His affairs happened so long ago no one cares anymore.

I still remember how McCain's campaigned got de-railed years ago when the Bush campaign planted rumors that he'd had an affair with a Black woman and fathered an illegitimate child.

The media these days is too good at digging up dirt... nothing goes unnoticed. You'd think politicians would learn.
