I cannot really quote from this article on cnn.com without distorting its overall implications but to summarize:
1. The same thing already happened in 1983 when a conservative Republican got caught with a female page and a liberal homo Democrat with a male page.
2. The Republican repented and lost; the Democrat selfishly declared a special homosexual right to molest pages so Massachusetts reelected him.
3. Following that model, Republicans (who may be the victims of a deliberately timed political smear) could (tragically!) lose because "values voters" are the only ones who care enough to protect the children. You see, they are simple folk, bless them, who are sometimes too good and pure for their own good. And if they stay home... only calculating perv-loving Democrats will be left to vote.

Read it and see if I have done it justice.
Also, there is a poll to freep.
