Isn't there a way to stop this now?

Mayor Morse, as a teacher and a mayor, should not have slept with college students.  His campaign should have been suspended just for that.

Not only did he not have the judgment not to sleep with college students, he does not have the judgment to withdraw from the race as some of the media and some prominent people endorse him, from corruption, greed or stupidity.

Does this have to turn into a national controversy?  He's not right.  Does everyone have to know about it?  

He was too young to be mayor.  He has now made too many serious mistakes to be in Congress.  I'm not saying that he can't win if the media continues to manipulate the public, but either way, it's bad.

If he wins, he's setting the precedent that elected officials and teachers can sleep with college students.  He is also setting the precedent that accusations of misconduct can be turned by adamant, biased and dishonest media into a story of victimization that makes the accused candidate seem sympathetic, that tries to bully investigations to have predetermined results and that intimidates anyone who has spoken or who might speak in a less hostile environment.  If he loses, then his mistakes of having SLEPT WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS will be known to the country, and possibly the world.  Either way, eventually people whom he slept with will probably also be tracked down online and harassed.  

He should not have slept with college students.  He should not be running for higher office.
