It's being reported Carter and Gore will finally come out to endorse Obama or to tell Clinton to stop her campaign (the Scotman and Fox). Finally my prayers paid off. Will she go graciously or will she try a couple of other nasty attacks to make sure Obama looses in November, so she can try again in 4 years.

Sen. Obama would have us believe that the only possible reason that Americans would reject his candidacy must be the result of some moral or intellectual defect on their part.

Leave Sen Vitter alone. He is just a man, a man who has been overlooked by his wife who was too busy with her career.

Sen. Obama would have us believe that the only possible reason that Americans would reject his candidacy must be the result of some moral or intellectual defect on their part.

It is not a surprise that politicans think that they are "above the law".
Why should Vitter be any different? He will eventually "wiggle" out of his situation. Who cares?

Where's the outrage from republicans and their family agenda? Shunning Larry Craig, but applauding Vitter? Crucifying Bill Clinton? Excusing Vitter?

Hypocrites.

"The reason (Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death," Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times

'Uncle Sam' What on earth does your comment have to do with this article?

Why is this story on the ticker? Slow day, CNN?

While the media, including CNN, lashed out at Eliot Spitzer last month for his relationship with prostitutes, Republican Senator Dan Vitter gets a free ride. He doesn't need to reveal anything and we're just supposed to forgive and forget. Once again, we have proof of the hypocrisy of the media and the Republican party.

Politicians make too much money 'to play with'. And then we have a presidential candidate who is 'too critical and rude'. Speaking of Obama.

Eric, Gore and Carter are not coming out and endorsing Hillary. That article in the Scotsman (linked via Drudge) has been up for about three days. Carter said yesterday on the Sunday shows he won't endorse until the convention. This article isn't even about Obama anyway.

On that note, why hasn't Vitter resigned (or Sen. Craig for that matter). Spitzer rightfully stepped down, so should Vitter and Craig.

People, the headline here is "Vitter," not "bitter"! Geez, you bellyache about all the overblown coverage of that story, but you can't let it go! I hate to break it to you, but the Democratic presidential candidates had nothing to do with Vitter's patronizing of prostitutions — that we know of!

Isn't this more than a sin? Seems like it's actually illegal as well.

What's done is done. As much as Vitter has discussed, as well as what we know of his involvement, speaks for itself. Not every I needs to be dotted nor every T crossed on this one. There's already enough that's known. Move on…..

What's up with all these sex scandals? I don;t think there has been any morals in government since Billy got caught. I know if I got caught my clothes would be on the front lawn as soon as the story broke. Its good to hear that some woman are so forgiving, or could it be money and power that makes them more sympathetic?

why is it that Eliot Spitzer is crucified in the press and forced to resign his post for soliciting prostitution, yet David Vitter remains in the senate and has gone pretty much unnoticed?

He must be a Republican, if he were Democratic he'd already be hung out to dry!

There are probably more than the few politician that came out about being involved with the escort/prostitution business. - they have just not been caught.

I have mixed feelings about this; he does have relevant information on this. The other side is that he was already outed for this and has appoligized I think. I just wonder if I will see his wife on the news as being indicted for his murder not that I want to see that.

CNN keeps revisiting the same old sex scandals over and over. You keep slaming the politician; you make out them out to be the devil, with horns and hoofs. But in the end, their wives love them, and so do all his mistresses.

WHY, has not the authorities arrested John McCain in his exploits in Phoenix with the Girl's from " Kitty' Klub" and the "Rumper Room" and the " Romper Room" his name appeared over 5 times in the federal investigation's reports from 1998 and 1999 ? yet he never got busted Why ?

YOU MEN ARE ALL THE SAME AND CANT BE TRUSTED…

MEN HAVE DOMINATED GOVERNMENT/ WORLD FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND LOOK WHERE IT HAS GOTTEN US.

IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE…

LET US WOMEN HAVE OUR TURN…

HILLARY '08

Vitter is bitter that he got caught.

I believe Obama is on the down low.
Larry Sinclair's allegations are not so far fetched.

Another stupid man that can't control himself.

Big surprise!

What's going on with the Republican Party? All this stuff about sex in the Senate leads me to believe that the Republican Senators are not getting any.

Oh yeah, by the way, I AM BITTER at washington.

who's casting the first stone here?

Does anyone know of a blog site that avtually posts your blogs??? It sure IS NOT CNN. I guess I am back to fact check.org. See you later CNN.

DO NOT WATCH THE OLYMPICS. IT ONLY HELPS CHINA FUTHER THEIR AGENDA!!!!!

CNN you guys are sick law life people. Why can't you live this man alone. You are trying to stir up things that does not matter to people at all people are sick of your report.

Are the people at CNN nyphomaniacs? It's starting to sound like O'Reily, who opposes anything sexual but insists on bombarding us with it. I'm a Democrat and an Obama supporter, but leave Vitter alone for crying out loud.

I am so gullible: I always thought each of us to be equal under the Law or that Justice (with capital "J" ) was equal to all of us.

Obviously some are ""more equal"" than others…….

Funny how Paltry will be convicted of engaging in a criminal enterprise, but the hundreds of politicians who used her services aren't even questioned.

I'm sure they've all moved on to a different escort service.

Let he who is satisified by his wife's loving attention throw the first stone..

Heaven forbid we have him testify under oath. That's unAmerican!

All these men are willing to say they hired prostitutes in a crowded court room, yet they are not being prosecuted. Any one else see the problem here?

Another one bites the dust
……only sorry 'cause he got busted!!!!!
I pray that he is truly sorry for his "great sin"

This guy has some serious mental issues… Why is Obama all of a sudden acting like a two year old? Its time for change!

WE ARE CHANGING OUT VOTE TO CLINTON,

Obama will loose in a general election for certain

As for any claim to "favoritism", how about that other LA legislator, Rep Jefferson, and his "cold cash" ? Have you forgotten ?

Favors called in??

Just one more scum bag in our illustrious Senate. Why, he justs fits in with the likes of Kennedy, Helms, Boxer, etc. Shoot, there aren't but maybe a half of them considered respectable any more…………….

fascinating that you would post the headline "Senator Avoids Prostitute Testimony" followed by an unrelated story with a picture of Obama.

Nice one CNN! Keep stirring it up. You guys should have news all the way into August.

Every one is so indignant. All the sound bites and the rightgeous rethoric, and yet so little of the real storys behind each discovery of what so many would describe as acts of "debauchery" . Condone it? No, Attempt to understand and accept yes, but only under certain conditions. What the hell, it takes a long time for so many of us to grow up..

Another reason why rest of the world will laugh and ignore USA when USA tries to claim the moral high ground on any issue. Divided States Of Greedy Hypocrites works for me.

Does anyone really think that Obama went back to Chicago every Sunday to go to Church? He was living in Washington D.C. as a U.S. Senator. Give the guy a break!

I'm not sure, I may have missed something but are there a lot of illiterate people out there who can't read the subject matter? Hate is blinding.

Once again a republican sleaze merchant is allowed a free ride.
And the GOP is supposed to be the party of family values and morality?

You're right!!! these people are not responding to the article. They are practicing the Clinton spin-lie-duck moves.

Perhaps we (taxpayers) should be allowed additional "rebate" checks directly from politicians tied to local states that get caught. Same ol' crap here folks, lawmakers not held accountable to keeping their own laws. What's worse is when they formaly took a stand upon their soapbox. Yes, there are far worse issues at hand, like blood for oil policies. It's just amazing what politicians can get away with.

David Vitter, you should form a consulting group w/ Larry Craig, Mark Foley, and Ted Haggard…. you can call it A Haggard Mark

i don't think vitter should have been overlooked. he is a phony,,,

i am a constituent of vitter's and i don't like him one bit

Maybe this is a good thing…..I'm a Republican for the fiscal ideology…not the holier than thou religious right wing….can you imagine a fiscally conservative party that is also socially liberal? Thats what we need….the Democrats don't seem to understand that the war costs a fraction (in dollars…not lives) - to that of the current and proposed entitlement programs….we are no longer "teaching the man to fish" - we have become a society of the "entitled" - we "deserve" things….try earning them….start by dissolving the unions…the biggest offenders

Dana, it's people like you that shouldn't be allowed to vote! Stay out of politics, and go back to watching soap operas and game shows. Obama doesn't need to persuade the filthy scum who are Hillary supporters. You hear that, we don't need you.

Of course Vitter was spared!!! He's ABOVE THE LAW!!!! Money talks!

WHERE IS THE REPUBLICAN OUTRAGE? WHY HAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOT DEMANDED VITTER'S RESIGNATION AS THEY DID WITH SPITZER? GOP = HYPOCRITES.

Haha, this is the same guy who said Bill Clinton should resign for the lewinsky scandal. Typical republican hypocrisy. At least Clinton did it legally with and internand not a prostitute. SPitzer never should have resigned until this goof did. Oh, and who remembers Vitter's wife saying that she would be like Lorena Bobbit if she were in Hillary's shoes? Well, I wonder if she did that to Vitter. Then, the funniest is the fact that when the scandal came out, they were complaining about how the media attention had a negative effect on their family. Of course, when it was on the Clintons, they took part in the media attacks not even caring how it affected Chelsea Clinton, who was a teenager at the time. Overall, I think the Vitters should come out and publicly apologize to the Clintons, and say, "We are so sorry. We never knew how tough this must have been on you. We never understood the pressure, and we will never take shots at your personal life again."

Spitzer rightfully stepped down, so should Vitter and Craig.

Actually, ALL republicans should step down.

Yup! Another fine example of Republican "family values".

I don't think Republicans are ignoring the article. I think the normal every day citizens of this country are fed up with both the Republicans and the Democrats. Maybe they (US citizens/THE taxpayers) will zero in on some enforceable code of ethics for all government elected officials. These are a crock. Its the voters who need to change what goes on.
