Imagine what would happen if they gheys get married!
The new survey of Nevada by Public Policy Polling (D) has a startling result about Republican Sen. John Ensign: Despite the sex scandal that obliterated his presidential ambitions last year, and has raised questions about payments made by Ensign’s parents to the family of his ex-mistress, Ensign could still get reelected in 2012.
Only 38% of Nevada voters approve of Ensign’s job performance, with 44% disapproving. However, he still leads three Democrats in hypothetical match-ups. He leads Rep. Shelly Berkley by 49%-40%. He leads Secretary of State Ross Miller by 47%-36%. And he edges out Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman by 43%-41%, within the ±3.6% margin of error.
PPP’s communications director joked, “Cheating on your wife is a deal breaker for Republican voters — but only if you’re a Democrat.”
The same is true in Louisiana, where right-wing Sen. David Vitter (R) not only cheated on his wife while claiming to be a “family values” conservative, he did so with at least one prostitute. He’s now favored to win re-election anyway.
