In two separate appearances, US Senate candidate Cal Cunningham said his campaign is "not about my personal life" - despite spending almost a year campaigning on his personal story. The Democrat has been in hiding for almost a week since news broke of at least one extramarital affair. Also... the Vice Presidential debate was held last night. I watched, so you didn't have to!

The same people (and their allies in the media) who have been systematically dismantling the "norms" on appointing judicial nominees now say the precedents they set should be ignored. Charges of hypocrisy no longer carry and purchase in politics. Still, filling the Supreme Court vacancy before the election would be consistent with the Constitution and the historical process.
