Is Romney's Campaign Over IF... [View all]

Romney had an affair with one of his maids?

First the rumor started with Drudge freaking out over Gloria Allred and the story got reported here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2220526/Republicans-bracing-October-surprise-Gloria-Allred-prepares-Romney-revelation.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Then there was this tidbit revealed:

http://partners.mediatakeout.com/59124/explosive-breaking-news-mitt-romney-s-maid-is-dishing-dirt-and-if-what-she-s-saying-is-true-it-may-be-a-wrap-for-the-campaign.html

Media Takeout is owned and operated by a former corporate lawyer and he probably knows Allred.

Media Takeout indicates the news will break tomorrow. I suspect it will be in the morning and the scandal will be full swing before the debate.

If true, if a credible story is broken of a past made having an indiscrete affair with Mr. Romney, does that indeed end his campaign?
