Do you think anyone can actually run for a public position at this point and NOT have "something" come up from their past? This is ridiculous. She isn't running for President.

I like that she is coming forward about it, but not dropping out. She seems to be standing firm.

Yeah, I like how she's handled it so far as well. I wish that most young women would learn lessons from this, though.

Like not posting half naked pictures of themselves on MySpace? LOL

There is going to come a time though that no one will care because their generation has seen it since they were preteens. And there will come a time when no one will care if sex tapes/pictures appear because that has been in the media for awhile now too. It seems to be commonplace.

I think she is making it worse by not explaining what the pictures are of. She claims they are not of her nude or of her drinking so what is the big deal then? Also interesting that her platform is internet safety!

I think it's a problem how these photos are coming out of girls younger and younger and in poses that emulate pornography. I wouldn't see a problem with a woman walking down the street topless, but these girls flashing everything and the way they pose are repulsive. Nudity being commonplace would be okay (poor David at Portofino :rolleyes:), but not teens & sex. IMO :)
