We’ll see how this plays out. Right now all we have is someone claiming that her friend is having an affair with Cunningham. I feel like it has a better than even chance of being true since Cunningham has already demonstrated himself to be a dumb ass, but if the woman is never identified I don’t know that Cunningham gains anything by putting a spotlight on this with a denial.
if the other woman gives her name and grants an interview that’s a big difference. If it’s been going on for 8 years then she probably has texts, pictures, emails,etc.
I know this thread is about the 2020 cycle, but Senator Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania announced today that he will not run again in 2022, setting up what is likely to be an excellent opportunity for a Democratic pick up.
He’s the second Senator up in 2022 to announce his retirement, Richard Burr in NC having previously announced he would not run again.
still nothing in NC media on the 2nd Cunningham affair story
This isn’t good…
PPP poll for North Carolina was in the after the sexting story broke and they polled on it.
About half the people have heard the story and Cunningham still had a 6 point lead.
Q14 Does the information about Cal Cunningham having a relationship with a woman who is not his wife make you more or less likely to vote for him, or does it not make a difference?
More likely 3%
Less likely 37%.
It doesn’t make a difference 58%
Not sure 2%
If you look at the crosstabs though, that 37% were overwhelmingly people who weren’t voting for him anyway.
If the second woman never materializes, he could survive this.
Sounds like an interesting first line to a sci-fi story.
Get to the typeitty typeitty. Don’t leave us hanging.
you can bet media is looking for woman #2 . Maybe they won’t be able to find her
It’s possible she doesn’t exist. I wouldn’t count on it though.
What a maroon. Priorities, man, priorities!
if the friend who started the story does not give a name then that’s probably it. Or if the media gets a name and she won’t talk then it is pretty much over.
If Wohl and Burkman weren’t currently having legal troubles of their own, they’d be down there in a flash claiming to be able to produce her .
I think there’s a really good chance that even if she exists and is really pissed off at Cunningham - she realizes what’s at stake and and would keep her mouth shut until Nov 4th. She’ll have plenty of time to exact revenge after the election.
I was thinking this exact same thing - if she’s real, then she may be waiting until later to get her payback.
Just amazing, that so much depends on an idiot who exercises less self control than a hormonally charged teen!
Right now, he is hormonally charged.
Isn’t his opponent currently in quarantine with COVID-19? I assume he wants to avoid any kind of direct contact with him. Or is this a just the Democratic candidate type event?
Fox News, at least, is now reporting on the allegation of Cunningham having a second affair partner.
Four weeks until E-day poll dump.
Iowa looking possible! One subtle thing I noticed about this week’s senate polls is that no one felt the need to even bother polling Colorado. That’s bad news for Cardboard Cory.
