this entire thread sounds just like a Clinton bashing thread
Except Clinton got lucky and Ryan got the shaft
But the Clinton angle is what makes it so
funny! Listening to Pubbies who used to want to hang Clinton from the nearest tree, scramble to the defense of Jack Ryan is fun!
Whether or not Gbaji or Smash or Stok or I think it's immoral or "bad" to drag your wife to orgies at sex clubs isn't important. The Illinois GOP relies on midstate and downstate votes to fill the vaccum made by Democratic Chicago. Telling the good folks in Arcola and Effingham, Illinois that the multi-millionaire who took his Hollywood actress wife to sex clubs against her will is still a
good, moral family man is going to be a hard sell. If it was Obama who did this stuff, the rural vote would still be swinging largely conservative and the urban folk would have much more of a "Who cares if the man gets jiggy at the sex clubs?" attitude.
I predict the Illinois GOP dropping Jack Ryan
if they can get Thompson or Edgar to run (neither of which showed previous interest). I don't think a largely unknown Pubbie candidate will carry it and I doubt Ryan will beat Obama. Score a Senate seat for the Dems this fall.
