My wife is a political activist, and politically astute enough to know who Saxby Chambliss is, even though we live in Minnesota and are pretty far removed from the action.

I showed her the video—the one with the neutral headline (see my link above). She hadn't heard of the video before. I told her only that there was some controversy about the video, and asked if she could spot what was controversial about it.

On the first viewing, despite paying close attention, she saw nothing. On the second viewing, she laughed and asked, "Is it his hand on the girl's chest?"

I urge you to try the same experiment with people whose judgment you trust. Maybe it would help put things in perspective.

There may be plenty of good reasons to vote against Chambliss, but this video is not one of them.
