Where were all of the women currently crawling out of the woodwork to attack Bob Filner when he was a Congressman? Why now? Why immediately after he publicly snubbed the San Diego ol'-boys-club during the "Chalk-u-pier" trial.
This is going to happen every single time.
If their side has their shit together enough to get Mark Sanford back in the game, then we need people who demonstrate a willingness to fight.
