Foley Scandal and High Morality.

This scandal is getting worse than previously thought, because more is known about it now. The fact that Republicans knew about it and didn't do anything. The question is, could the core right-wing religious base of Republicans be turned-off by this scandal, and would not come vote in large numbers? As this article highlights, "Across the country as a whole, local Republicans have been running a number of campaigns, accusing the Democrats of being out of step with "family values". Who is out-of-step now, may be this is the last push that Democrat needed to oust Republicans from the Congress, and take majorities in both senate and House. Now beside war in Iraq, andother big issue which hugely favored Republicnas in last election, their values, would not be favoring them, atleast for a little while. What you think?
