Stand By Your Man or would you?

A Los Angeles Times blog Top of the Ticket had an interesting post today asking readers, "what would you do to Eliot?", regarding the Spitzer scandal. I always think about that when a politician is caught cheating on their wife. I think only once have I heard about a female politician accused of infidelity. The past few I can remember though have been men. And the wife always stands by her husband. Looking like she was drugged and convinced that it was a good idea to be there, be "supportive." The blog post allowed for readers to vote on what they would do to Eliot. But not one choice was to not show for the press conference. None of them said pack up, move out and start over with your life, because you have been relieved of public duty. When Governor McGreevey's wife stood by his side during his apology for having an affair with a man, she later appeared on the Today Show and said she stood next to him because people told her she had to for herself and him  as well as the media. Because they would wonder where she was and they would come looking for her. I wonder if someone had a similar conversation with Mrs. Spitzer? Because I don't think I would stand up in front of the media and make it look like everything is OK. But, I also wonder if the media pressure would make me feel different? Is there too much expectation of people emotionally by the media during times of difficulty? Discuss...I think so.  

Primary Hangover!

I don't know why I got into this primary Tuesday when I didn't even care about the Commonwealth's primary (which is open and can do a lot of damage, but that's for another post.) I have to say that I was surprised by Clinton's victory in Texas...for some reason, I really thought the caucus' would help him win.

On a previous post...never heard a thing about "that guy" (Nader) last night. Thank you media Gods!
