favor the Democrats. I just wish that the new liberal/libertarian hybrid, although small, would spend as much time doing oppo research on the Repubs as they do this president and Democrats. It's a tactic, and not a very subtle one.

What democrats have to do is not allow these sideshows, fake "scandals", and interlopers to drive the wedge they so desparately want. The midterms are coming. The president only has about 7-1/2 mos. until the midterms start in earnest, and make no mistake, the latest batch of 'scandals' is about depressing turnout. When turnout is low, they win.

Democrats just have to keep in mind that there's a portion of "the left", and third party idiots who are invested in destroying the Democratic Party, much like Ralph Nader, to save it.

Ignore 'em.
