When more names surface, Bush will turn the focus to family values. The idea that if Hillary forgives him, the rest of us will, or should, is not how it will play. If the polls are right and the 14% of the electorate who say they won't support a womanizer actually vote against Clinton because of his problems, well half of that percentage is usually the difference in presidential elections.
