Michelle, re: the liberals will see through it immediately
It's not "the liberals" who matter.
It's not "the conservatives" who matter.
You will always have a certain percentage on both ends that will not be swayed no matter how damning or exculpatory the full report proves to be.
It's the center, the swing-voters who matter.
I am one.
He lost me months ago.
As far as the "affair" goes - when I have children, I certainly would not want my son to treat a woman that shabbily or have my daughter allow herself to be used in such a manner.
While the cigar is shocking (some would say also "aberrant", "depraved", and even possibly "a poor choice, given their proximity to the White House pantry" <g>) what strikes me the most about the allegations in the report isn't the sex itself but the pathological nature of the relationship.
If there is such a thing as "a harmless affair" involving married persons (which I've yet to see firsthand), this just isn't the way it's done. There's a real sickness here. Not necessarily the sex, but the level of premeditation, the obsession, the control he is attempting to exert. I'm just an armchair psychologist, but I think it would be interesting to see what a trained, objective observer would conclude about the parties if you could somehow conceal their identities.
IMHO, that would be even more damning than the sorrid details of the affair itself.
Good trading,
