Can this election cycle get any further in the gutter?

How much press is this actually getting in Nevada?
Well, Gibbons launched a lawsuit today to force the police to release surveilance tapes that Gibbons claims will prove that he didn't do it, so it definitely will get coverage today.  Given that the story was dying down (the woman had declined to press charges, and as far as I can tell she only accused him of groping, not penetration, I think the lawsuit was a dumb idea) I guess he's trying to distrct voters from his illegal Peruvian nannygate.  Neither scandal is big but the combo might be enough to swing Nevada.  It's already had enough of an effect in the polls that I've changed Nevada from safe to lean in my gubernatorial predictions.

Ouch. Now they might lose this one too. Hopefully this taints the House seat as well.

Can't have worse timing either.

Is it just me, or does this year seem to be something of a perfect storm of Republican scandals?

Everything seems to be coming out all at once all of a sudden.

the Wall Street Journal did a major article today dinging Gibbons for shady deals involving the black budget.  I'd give a link but the article is subscribers only on their website.  It certainly don't help a Republican if a Democratic opponent can use an article in the WSJ to attack with.

Apparently, neither Gibbons nor the cocktail waitress is not on the videotape from the parking garage during the time period where she said he attacked her.

Still might cost him the gubernatorial race, though this clearly pokes a giant hole in her story.
