For president, candidate with the fewest blemishes? - USATODAY.com: "By Chuck Raasch,GNS Political Writer WASHINGTON — At a conference of conservatives, young Democrats handed out a three-page missive ridiculing three leading Republican presidential candidates as The Three Stooges. In the context of modern political discourse, the attacks on Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.; ex-Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani were rather tame. But a couple of paragraphs on Giuliani's marital problems — he's been married three times and had a messy public divorce while mayor — were notable for two reasons. First, the mention seems curious coming from a Democratic Party that argued throughout Bill Clinton's 1998-1999 impeachment and acquittal that Republicans had overreached in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, that it was merely about sex between consenting adults (and the product of a 'vast right-wing conspiracy' in then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's words). Second, it signals that despite admonitions from Hillary Clinton's supporters that the impeachment should be irrelevant to her presidential candidacy, Democrats expect it to come up if Clinton gets her party's nomination. This attack on Giuliani was likely not the last you will hear from Democrats about messy marriages."
