That’s another good point. The accusations made against D’Annunzio by his ex-wife during their divorce proceedings were 15 years ago. D’Annunzio has admitted to having some problems in his past, but assuming that it is all in the past does not the man then deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt? ... If D’Annunzio just went out two weeks ago and claimed to have discovered the Ark of the Convenent in Arizona then I’d say that’s fair game for his opponents to bring up, but to dredge up alleged statements from 15 years ago that really aren’t relevant to the campaign chalks up to dirty politics in my book. I’m not on anybody’s side in this race, just playing devil’s advocate here and exposing some possible hypocrisy on behalf of the party apparatus.

I am not yet a supporter of the Tea Party, but I like the fact that they seem to be rattling both sides - Dem and Rep - fairly equally. Bringing up stuff from 15years ago, that he has publicly acknowledged were off-base seems a tad petty, and the fact that he still won, seems to say that the comments were answered and set aside as irrelevant.
