I guess the other option is for Ol' Dusty to say nothing, and let the good people of Arkansas simply forget about him. But somehow I think Ol' Dusty would have a problem with that. He made his bed ... Let him lie in it.

"But after all of those years and $50 million of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, you name it -- nothing, nothing -- the president was found guilty of nothing, official or personal. You're here today because the president suffered a terrible moral lapse, a marital infidelity. Not a breach of the public trust, not a crime against society, the two things Hamilton talked about in Federalist Paper No. 65 -- I recommend it to you before you vote -- but it was a breach of his marriage vows. It was a breach of his family trust. It is a sex scandal. H.L. Mencken said one time, "When you hear somebody say, 'This is not about money,' it's about money." And when you hear somebody say, "This is not about sex," it's about sex."

I don't know what it is about this puritanical, gotcha society that we live in that people just can't seem to get enough of this kind of dirty laundry. You would think that both people and the press would have better use of their time. Obviously McDaniel suffered a moral lapse of judgment regarding his marriage, but is it really the federal case some are making it out to be?

They missed that opportunity in the last couple weeks.

By mid-December when thoughts are toward shopping, cooking, ditching work and travel.
PLUS we end up with a media consuming mass murder of innocents PLUS a local blizzard.

Man, any media savy pol would have had him a full press conference and then when the press bitched about the timing McDaniel could have said he wanted to get all the info out very quickly and wanted to come clean right away.

Then it would have gotten hardly any notice and would now be old news, or at least they could then accuse anyone that questioned that of dredging up old history and looking for anything for character assasination.

I'll say.

Here's the Wright Strategies bullet (crap) point.

"(We) will bring battle-tested and proven communications methods to your campaign. Working one-on-one with candidates, our staff will help flesh out your personal narratives and convert your key values into campaign themes. This includes working with the candidate and campaign staff to oversee message development and training – and then executing those lessons into concrete paid, earned, and new media steps.

Simply put, you know where you want to go and we will put you on the path to get there."

I guess McDaniel wants to go to da Guvnuh's mansion and Isaac Zac Wright has a fool-proof plan to get him there. The thought of McDaniel, Hutchinson, Ross and the current list of candidates for the state's top elected position is a clear sign that Arkansas is one step closer to hell.
