So, John McCain may have had a romantic liaison with a female lobbyist and done favours for her corporate clients.
Barack Obama may have had improper dealings with Chicago-based 'dodgy fella', Tony Rezko. Now, he might be conniving with terrorists. For more on The Weathermen, I can recommend the documentary, The Weather Underground.
Of course, Hillary already has had Monicagate, Watergate, VinceFostergate, Furnituregate, MarcRichgate, RandombombingofSudangate and many others. GOP oppo researchers boast at the material they still have.
Most of us liberals are quite happy that the Democrats and Republicans look set to choose their best respective nominees. However, there is a very high chance that this could go from the most promising election in my memory, to something very, very ugly.

I second that documentary recommendation, it was excellent.
I'm still having trouble believing the money markets for the Democratic nomination. Right now Iowa (http://iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu/quotes/Nomination08_quotes.html) has Obama at 80% for the nomination; I know we're supposed to trust the betting market more than the polls, but doesn't that just seem very high?
I would say it is a little high, but not too out of whack- it is now mathematically very, very hard for Hillary to win the pledged delegate count, and it is assumed that the superdelegates will give way to the popular vote. Hillary has to win Ohio and Texas just to stay in this thing, and my hunch is that Obama might 'win' in Texas.
