$4 Gas and Tough Choices

So here's the question: With gas prices so high and going higher, what choices are you having to make? Are there certain luxuries you are giving up to pay for gas? Are there certain items you just can't do without no matter what the price of gas?

Is Anyone Outraged by the Behavior of Politicians?

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann on Friday admitted to an extramarital affair with an employee in his office. It was the latest revelation in a sex scandal that led to the firings of two of Dann's top aides. Two other AG staffers, including the woman Dann had the affair with, also resigned.

Dann however said he will not resign and is working to regain the trust of voters.

This is the latest in a string of sex scandals involving elected officials. Does an admission of an extramarital affair on the part of a leader matter to voters? Should it?
