It is frustrating to see someone come this far, get elected as a Democrat, and then have this come out ... looks bad for us all.

If he's under 38-ish though, he was quite young at the time, and 12 years is long time for a 38 year old ... IF he's learned his lesson, maybe (depending on the details) I might be willing to 'hear him out', esp. if he's now married and his current spouse and family vouched he's changed. Not saying it's a free pass, but maybe I'd hear an explanation and consider it (again, depending on severity involved).

If he's 45 or above, no friggin' way, he needs to go. No possible 'I was a stupid drunken young man but I've turned my life around' type of deal.
