Haley alleged to have had an affair

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

He now claims he has five years of e-mails, texts, whatever.

If true, it's just sad and sordid.

Is there a link to them, or is he just babbling that he has them?

And he says he doesn't want to ruin her career?

I wonder which candidate is responsible for this rumor?

Bauer would certainly be suspect #1, he's the most dodgy guy in the race. I wouldn't call this a rumor though, more like an outright accusation. If this guy can't provide the emails and texts he says he has then I say this blows up in his face and Haley ends up winning. If he can, then I would say that Haley loses, and it probably wasn't the work of another campaign (unless one of the other camps found out about this while digging for dirt and is pressuring the blogger).

Whoaaaaaaaa wait, why blame Bauer.  Didn't this guy break the news in his blog?  Or did I mis-read the earlier stuff?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

To me, there is only one reason for the blogger to admit to an affair.........sink her campaign.  He's dirt.

From a Salon.com article

"Folks says the story was being leaked to the press by Haley's primary opponent, Gresham Barrett."

Also, if this blogger really DOES support Haley, why is he holding onto his txts and phone messages instead of just deleting them?

That's why I said a dozen posts ago..........he's dirt.

Blogger coughs up texts but read it yourself and tell me what you think.......very strange

The fact that he is referring to this as Haley-gate, is yet another reason for me to doubt his veracity.

What is the "feel" in SC from people you talk to?

Unless Folks produces some actual proof, this will actually help Haley.  For one thing, it is making it all but impossible for anyone to campaign against her right now, lest they be drawn into the mud themselves. She's a lock for the runoff right now, and it's even conceivable there won't be a runoff.

Clearly Folks intends to drag this out as long as possible to keep himself in the limelight, so who knows when or how this will end.

And if he drags this out toooooo much it won't matter if she did him........I'm like STFU Folks........I can imagine the people in SC are feeling the same way.

We're getting to the point of "Pics or it didn't happen"

Dirty old man!

Reporting for duty, Sir!

Yep, 2C in my view.  She probably told him "no" when he put the moves on her.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This can only help Haley in the end. I mean SC people aren't that stupid to believe these two guys.

Well if this guy's street cred is as bad as it seems, it will diffuse Folks' allegations even more.......this may not be a bad thing for her campaign.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

These dirty tricks are pretty dirty. I wonder how many more affairs will come out before Tuesday. We'll have to give Nikki the nickname Tiger.

I wonder if the next accuser will be a woman. As long as the tricksters are trying to kill her campaign through brute force...

I'm pretty sure two women together is viewed as "hot" by most male SC voters.......that one might not fly as well

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

She fared very well given the barrage of attacks.........runoff?  So what?  She'll be fine there too.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Looks like she won the run off
