Since the sex scandals involving Larry Craig and now Eliot Spitzer, since things seem to happen in three's, it seems there will be another sex scandal involving a major U.S. politician in 2008. This could include any of the following: prostitution, homosexuality, procurement, extra-marital sex or affairs, rape, sexual assault, incest, pornography or pedophilia and would require recognized proof of same or a finding of guilt by a legal body. It could involve any of the following: the sitting President, Vice-President, or a major Democratic or Republican Candidate for the President or Vice-President, a sitting U.S. Senator, Congressman or State Governor, a Candidate for U.S. Senate or Congress or Governor or an elected Senator or Congressman or Governor (between Election Day and the end of the year). This would be a major scandal that results in resignation, impeachment, or one that involves repeated calls for resignation, such as in Craig's case, whether or not it actually occurs.

    The outrage over John Edward's admitted affair with a filmmaker transcends what we have seen with most recent sex scandals. This partly results from his repeated denials of the affair. Much more important, of course, is the fact that it took place while his wife was battling cancer. The two of them had already dealt with the tragedy of losing a teenage son, and the public is furious that Edwards caused his wife, who agreed to campaign for him even after being diagnosed with incurable bone cancer, more pain.

    Let's close this one, now that Edwards has admitted having an affair.

    There are always sex scandals. The question is whether the media will try to find out and report them.

    That depends on how you define "is" is... :p

    Wouldn't surprise me if another scandal breaks out before the end of April, let alone end of 2008...
