Obama brought 15,000 to
the streets in New Orleans for a gun-control rally, Sen. Mary Landrieu
might have flinched in her opposition to the presidents agenda. But he
didnt. Had 1,000 Organizing for Action volunteers fanned out across Arkansas
to drum up support for the package, Sen. Mark Pryor might have
hesitated in bucking the president for fear of a primary challenge. But
the doorsteps were empty.This is just the first test of the presidents
new model and he and his team promise that as money flows
in and lower-level organizers get up to speed, the presidents army will
be ready to march next time.But there are two challenges here.First, how
do you get people fired up about unsatisfying legislation?Obama initially
promised a whole package of legislation aimed at preventing future mass
killings like the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. But comprehensive
legislation quickly gave way to a resurrection of the old liberal effort
to ban guns.When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared that not viable,
the president fell back to supporting universal background checks. He had
by that point lost the urgency of the Sandy Hook killings since
the measure was unrelated to what happened at the school, as well

Florida Rep. Tim Mahoney who was accused of having an affair with
a former aide and then paying her to keep quiet. It was
later reported he also had an affair with a second woman around
the same time. Ironically, Mahoneys political career had taken off after
he replaced Republican Rep. Mark Foley who himself had a very public
fall from grace after admitting to exchanging sexually explicit messages
with an underage boy.Sanfords well-known scandal involved his extramarital
affair.He first made scandalous headlines when he told staffers he was going
to hike the Appalachian Trail but instead was discovered having the affair.
Sanford admitted to seeing his mistress on a 2008 taxpayer-funded trade
mission to Argentina.He ended up paying $74,000 to settle the ethics charges
against him and was working toward reviving his political career, having
just won the GOP primary in the special election race.But court documents
released this week show that Sanfords ex-wife, Jenny, filed a complaint
with police on Feb. 4, accusing the former governor of trespassing. The
couples 2010 divorce agreement says neither one can be at the others
house without permission and that seemed to be the last straw for
his NRCC backers. In 1976, the DCCC reached its boiling point with
then-chairman Rep. Wayne Hays after The Washington Post quoted a secretary
