Nikki Haley Weathers Infidelity Charges, Leads GOP Governor's Race in S.C.

It's not surprising that such an accusation was leveled against the strongest candidate! Even an untrue statement can sometimes backfire on the accuser with the results of pushing even more votes her way!

I would like to know why it is Right Wing politico's have the right to CHEAT on their spouses and get away with it? I thought as other have. The Right Wing spewed ETHICS ad MORALS. I do not see this here.Nikki Haley should step aside. Nikki cannot possibly take over for another who did the same exact thing in Aregentina. Nikki denies having yet another affair. This is at least one and possibillity of two. ETHICS and MORALS..........I think not!!!!!!!!!!

She's a Republican so they are "charges about..." If she were a left-wing Democrat they would be "unsubstantiated, malicious, rumors generated by Right-wing, Republican extremist made up of Tea Party facists."

Keep in mind that Nikki is running for Governor not Sainthood. An attractive woman running for Public Office is a "lightning rod" for all kinds of slanderous remarks from the opposition. If she is guilty of any criminal offenses bring on the proof and let the Justice system take it's course, otherwise stay out of her private life. Best of luck Nikki, I hope you win in a landslide vote when the election is over!

The problem is, you cannot prove innocence. That's why we have a system of justice which (ostensibly) assumes innocence until guilt is proven. Think about it: how can you prove you *didn't* do something? Most times, you really can't.

We can definitely thank the Repubs for renewing the popularity of prurient propagandizing, but this is nothing new. As long as there have been politics, there have been attempts to scuttle the campaigns of opponents through less than tasteful means. If there is anything ironically amusing about all this, it's the degree of cannibalism present.

I'm hoping for the day when women and other historically discriminated/disenfranchised groups will realize that the Republican party is not their friend. They're against equal pay for women. They voted against the New GI Bill. They show lousy support for veteran's health, and the list goes on. I applaud Ms. Haley for fighting the good fight. I think that she and Gov. Jindal are seeing the racism in the GOP but are too loyal to mention it - yet.

it is about time that the people take notice of the slanderous remarks made by other in the attempt tp take the candidate out of a race jut because she is female, smart and sensible.

Its time the american voters started thinking for themselves and ask for proof when there are allegations and innuendos flung around. We as mature people are getting what we raised. The media is hellbent on muckraking,which brings in $$$ because this is what we like. Sex, lies even without the videotape

Go Nikki. We need more people like you in politics. Get rid of all the crooks that are in there now. My prayers are with you Nikki,

The Republicans have a history of dirty tricks going back decades, but recently incarnated in Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. If you'll remember the rumor the Bush campaign started about McCain having a black baby. It took the wind out of McCain's sails in the south.

It's rather tiring, however, in such difficult times as these to see the infighting and bitter accusations and character assassinations.

I would hope that if the rumors about Haley are false that she would open her email account for auditing and scruity and if she is indeed innocent that she would sue the accusers.

When you look at this field, one has to wonder if this is the best the GOP can do.
