[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been a great template for future politicians. The only mistake he made was admitting it was him ( presumably to get the whole thing to quickly blow over)
It’s a lesson in how to deal with social media and scandals.
Shame he didn’t deny from the start. Oh well. 
He made the smart move to just dig in and push forward. [/quote]

LOL.  The way he handled this was disastrous and will probably be used as a lesson in communications classes around the nation in how NOT to handle a scandal.  
He is still in office, but is viewed as a joke.  Hell, the way this was handled it wouldn't surprise me at all if Republicans take over the governor's mansion the next election.  [/quote]
Disagree. He’s got the rest of his term to establish his legacy in office. He’s already gotten significant legislation passed. The public has a very short attention span and even shorter memory. If he had slunk away quietly, his life would have been over. Now this is just a blip on a career. Of course he didn’t do what was in the immediate best Interest for the party, but he certainly took care of himself.  And possibly did less damage to the Democrats in the long run. His response was straight out of the republicans playbook. Other Dems should take note.[/quote]
