Besides the wives and children, who are the true victims of high-placed leaders' tawdry sex affairs? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, of course! Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and indicted Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick are (or were) both Democratic superdelegates. Spitzer was in the tank for Clinton, while Kilpatrick reportedly favors Obama, even though the Obama campaign halfheartedly denies it. So what happens when reckless oversexed Democrats let their personal addictions interfere with their public lives? They make the increasingly weird superdelegate count even less predictable. Of course, none of this matters if Clinton and Obama superdelegates keep cancelling each other out by getting caught in embarrassing situations in equal numbers. [Political Punch, NPR]

The Spitzer scandal can't hold a candle to the Kilpatrick one. Mrs Spitzer never knowing hit one of the escorts and no one involved was killed. Spitzer has no style at all.
Maybe this is what Harry Ried meant when he said a fix was in the works. Hope at last: live boys and/or dead girls will be placed in the hotel rooms of all the super-delegates.

They say things like "I did NOT have sexual relations with THAT woman." Then they get impeached for lying.
Fuck, where have you people been? My igloo only gets two channels and even I know the answer to that question.....
First one to bed Jason Rae WINS!
New Clinton campign tactic just announced. Bill is off to "meet" with all female superdelegates siding towards Obama to get them excluded from nomination process.
What if so many superdelegates are brought down by sex scandals that neither candidate can get to 2024? Do the Democrats just forfeit?
@magneticfields: Can you say "President Dr. Ron Paul"?
Perhaps all of those "deep sea underwater delegates" are not as not as likely to get into scandals. Go deep sea!
All the Super delegates should just form a giant actual circle Jerk and be done with this nomination process.
Actually, isn't that a really good pick-up line? --
"Hey, baby, ever done it with a superdelegate?"
"Once you go superdelegate, you'll never go back to mere delegate."
Let's see we have oversexed hetero democrats and oversexed gay republicans.......politics is hedonistic!
@optimistic_notreally: Ever since the days of the king's four hundred lesbian wives.
