    Wait, I though Congress only elected on even years? Oh, a 1 year term special election for seat vacated for a congressman who was appointed senator for a senator that resigned to run a conservative think tank — money talks too, mr power!

    Having cheated on and abandoned his wife, and lied to the entire state, he’s planning to marry his Argentinian trail buddy. I guess that counts for “family values” in conservative circles, since that kind of behavior is fine as long as you’re Republican.

    ^Can only point to my Texas/Arkansas right-wing southern moralist friend of years, who’s always offering me “marriage advice”. He’s been married three times, and may be going out again (tends to “cheat a bit”), while I’ve been married only 43 years to the same spouse. Sanford is closer to the party; like Newt.

    Sanford gives new meaning to trail dust.

    No it’s not, but then I don’t recall Ted Kennedy losing any elections either, Pot meet Kettle.

    But more recently, after cheating on your wife you can stay in office if you’re a Republican (Senator John Ensign, Newt Gingrich), but texting a photo of yourself on the internet gets you drummed out if you’re a Democrat (Weiner).

    Red states have the highest divorce rates and teen pregnancy rates (unsurprising given their attitude towards birth control); blue states the lowest.
    Story on NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126653602
    “Of the 20 states with the highest divorce rates, 14 voted for John McCain in 2008.”

    Never proven that Teddy was actually in the car. Proven in court documents about Gingrich, etc. Read The Bridge at Chappaquiddick if you can still find a copy.
