Theoretical what-if questions: What if George W. Bush wins this election and becomes president? And what if, like what Clinton experienced, several women come public to make allegations, sexual or otherwise, against Bush? What if Bush suddenly finds himself in a similar situation as Clinton whereby angry and vindictive Democrats behave similarly as the Republicans did against Clinton? What if such a reality, as theorized above, prompts Bush into yet another drinking spell or few? What if there's a drug problem there we don't know about, and the intensity of allegations against his character, his presidency, causes him to resort to using prescription (or other) drugs? What if George W. Bush actually has an addictive personality? What are the medical statistics of likelihood for alcoholic or drug-related relapse? Given the fact the public doesn't know the true gravity of Bush's pre-age 40 problems, does the public have all the information it needs by which to make a quality judgment about Bush? What if the Democrats, like Bush did with the embellishment issue, made the above type questions the pat line in breakfast and lunch counters across the nation? Yes, what if the Democrats acted like the Republicans when it comes to smear?

Actually Democrats have not yet explored Bush's coke or drinking problems at all. I haven't seen one story or mention about it. The press might but they haven't done much on the subject yet. As for you thinking it's okay if the next president did coke ten years ago or was an alcoholic, I disagree. Substance abuse comes from a deep-down self-esteem problem which could effect one's leadership abilities and judgement. I wouldn't want any president who had suffered through such dependencies and I'm surprised you would.
