Mark Sanford has an affair. This causes people to question him, to call for his resignation and of course it has to reflect on the entire Republican party and how long they will remain in "the wilderness" according to the media.
Gavin Newsom has an affair with the wife of his campaign manager, accidentally pays her off to the tune of $10,154 and finally declares that he need treatment for alcohol abuse.
This only puts him in a good position to run for governor of California and help his party toward a better future.
No double-standard there though.
I look forward to all the Democrats and members of the media who will question the mental state of Gavin Newsom, the state of the Democratic party, and finally how the whole party must be wandering into "the wilderness", the toilet oh, and has no future since the "best" they have run for governor is a philandering, alcohol abusing, law ignoring, mistress bribing, mess of a human being.
For Republicans, this criteria is the beginning of the end of their careers. For Democrats, it is practically a prerequisite to run.
