Family Values Republicans
Lurking just over the horizon are liabilities for three Republicans who have topped several national, independent polls for the GOP's favorite 2008 nominee: Sen. John McCain (affair, divorce), former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (affair, divorce, affair, divorce), and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (divorce, affair, nasty divorce). Together, they form the most maritally challenged crop of presidential hopefuls in American political history.
And the other choice is Bill Frist? I'll be really curious to see the spin on this one. Maybe a Jim Baker tearful "I have sinned."

Rudy moved in with two gay men for a few weeks after Donna threw him out of Gracie Mansion for schtupping the girlfirend in the mansion while the wife and kids were home. Sounds like a pilot for a sit-com, eh?
Anyway, if I were running against Rudy in the GOP primaries, I would play that story up, along with his business ethics and his relationship with Bernie Kerik. A Rudy candidacy could be killed pretty easily, I think.

I don't know that much about Giuliani, but they destroyed McCain with far less.
