Clinton was impeached while his sanctimonious accuser Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife in the cancer ward. Not that this is necessarily a partisan issue, either: Sen. Larry Craig was positively marooned by his Republican Party—presumably because its members find cloacal homosexual activity abominable—while his Louisiana counterpart David Vitter emerged unscathed from an encounter with the “D.C.

"The brilliance of the Obama campaign is that it is very organic," said Dan Wofford, an Obama supporter and son of former Sen. Harris Wofford. "It's not without structure, but it is bottom-up." As campaign staff begins to arrive in the state, he said, "they are very mindful; they don't want to snuff out the grass roots with a layer of hierarchy on top of it, but they do bring...
