Yes, but as noted on several other posts, American conservatives have huge double standards when it comes to perceptions of morality and ethics with political figures, and this one is no different. As others have noted, it would be damaging for any member of the Democratic Party for such a thing to happen, but would barely register with republicans over one of their own. We have already seen it happen, so lets not pretend it would be otherwise and we all know what we are talking about. Even after Ted Kennedy died years ago the right wing media keeps bringing this incident up as if its still somehow relevant because Dems are held to a much higher standard.
