This is it? Unsubstantiated rumors? Unless someone comes out with emails/texts/phone records showing something was indeed going on between Folks and NH, then this is all a waste of time. albeit an entertaining waste.

I guess the question that really matters is this. Do they spend more time at the Statehouse thinking about who is sleeping with who or about what we're going to do about the schools? Something is seriously off about the entire system: too much conflict, too much crazy soulmate child starving weirdness and candidates from nowhere waiting for the rapture. Barrett happily accepts the endorsement of the Minutemen, apparently without bothering to Google that group and discover its founder apparently disowned it's current incarnation and there are murder allegations connected with the group.

It's just a matter of time before this ceases to be "unsubstantiated rumors". Will Folks said that he's soon going to release evidence of the alleged affair in the form of text messages and emails. And think about this: who has more to lose by lying here? If Folks is fabricating this, he will not only be excoriated by millions of people, but he will be open for a libel/slander suit, as well as possible criminal charges. On the other hand, Haley has every reason to lie right now. So even though I don't know any more about this than the rest of us, I'm still willing to put my money on the veracity of Will Folks' version.

My guess is that more will come of this. This isn't over by a long shot. The already posted txt msgs kind of cast doubt and several sources have declined to comment. As the leading candidate, I'm surprised NH hasn't come out to denounce that other actions or instances that go beyond an affair did not happen. Lets face it, their all using technical/legal jargon at this point. Her definition of an affair is probably an extra-marital emotional involvement serious in nature and in duration. I'm guessing that "hooking up" with Folks a few times hardly qualifies as an affair. Some might question why a good looking woman like NH would fool around with someone as odd looking as Folks? Well, she's accomplished, probably well educated and can hold a decent conversation on politics, which is something Folks can engage her in. I seriously doubt her husband gets her and probably didn't pay her the attention she commanded. So...I could see this happening. Also remember that Folks admitted a physical relationship, not an affair. She'll win the primary, but this story is going to get bigger and uglier. I think she'll get elected governor regardless due to party loyalties in SC. However, I think that this says that we're tolerating something thats been socially acceptable in Europe for a long time amongst people in positions of power (infidelity, adultry, mistresses, affairs, etc...).

Beginning to wonder if every one in SC is banging each other?

Frisky, I am with you. It is like the pot calling the kettle black.. the ones that scream the loudest about this are the ones that have "dipped into the nasty well as few times" themselves. Who cares.. the Dems loved Clinton let it go

If Haley were a man, would anyone care? The gold ole boy Republicans don't seem to care that the SC Treasurer Converse Chellis was accused of sexual harrassment by his long-time business partner and settled out of court for a very large amount. They don't seem to care that Andre Bauer drives 100 miles per hour and runs red lights (causing police to get out guns drawn) and compares people to animals. They even allowed Sanford to stay in office even though he brought more ridicule to the state. Personally, I hope Haley does win the nomination: it will give the Democrats someone who is easy to beat.

Dem Cross-over Produced Haley and Greene If you believe as I do that 17% of the “Republicans” voting in the SC GOP Primary were Democrats, it answers three questions: 1) Why did 17% of the “Republicans” in a right-wing orgy like the SC GOP Primary vote FOR Obamacare? 2) How did Alvin Greene become the Democrat Senate nominee? 3) How did Haley go from a pre-scandal mid-May Rasmussen 30% (with 22% undecided) to a 49% Primary share? Assuming that the 22% undecided divided their votes in proportion to the four candidates’ standings in mid-May, 30 plus 17 is 47, or almost exactly what Haley pulled. Shrewd Dems (with the emotional intelligence that GOP Asperger cases lack) realize that if numerous lengthy late night calls are “on the table” along with Bauer’s suggestion that Haley clear herself with a polygraph but Haley’s chosen not to do so, the candidate most likely to implode before November is Haley. The theory that Haley’s jump from 30 to 49 is all due to most of the 22 undecided going for Haley is not only contrived, but only answers the third question, not the other two. My theory answers all three. The shrewd cross-over Dems voted for Obamacare, left no one minding the store to stop unemployed felon Greene, and successfully gave it to Haley. Hey, Republicans did this in the Wisconsin 1972 Primary and put McGovern on the path over Scoop Jackson, Muskie, and HHH. Turnabout is fair play to produce a Sanford-with-ovaries – or a Shaheen victory when further evidence arises.
