The Lastest republican sex scandles have been
Craig
Ensign
Foley
Vitter
Gingrich
and Sanford
On the Democrats side its been
Spitzer
McGreevey
Edwards
and Clinton
The time table is remarkable.
I would point out though that for some reason democrats don't tend to have legislative affairs, for what its worth thus making them less of a party issue. At least ostensibly. When Senators and Congressmen on the national level drop the ball, its sign as far more of a party thing than personal thing.
I think Spitzer was New Yorks problem and Sanford is South Carolina's problem (though he was gearing up for a Pres bid and was the leaders of the Repub's governors group).
Clinton's, arguably the largest of them all and the fire starter to this recent string. (I think they said 23 have happened since his run) but it seems there is a consistent **** news machine for the once and brief majority.
