Hey, wait a minute. Didn’t Vance McAllister say he would forgo another run for Congress after getting caught making out with his married staffer?<\/p>\n

Now he says what? He’s going to run after all?<\/p>\n

This is awesome news! I cannot wait to learn whether his constituents want to have this guy representing them in Congress.<\/p>\n

McAllister, a north Louisiana Republican, got caught in a most, um, embarrassing moment planting a lengthy wet kiss on his female staffer. McAllister had won the seat just a little more than a year ago, proclaiming himself to be madly in love with his wife and devoted to his children. He’s a family man and that was reason enough to vote for him, his campaign ads suggested. His ads featured his family prominently.<\/p>\n

Then he got caught committing this indiscreet act with a married staffer who — last I heard — had her marriage fall apart.<\/p>\n

McAllister said this about his reversal: “I wanted to make sure everything was good with our family. Our family is stronger than ever, so I think the people should decide whether or not I continue to represent them.\u201d<\/p>\n

More power to him. I’m waiting to see, however, if he portrays himself in quite the same family-man context that he did during his first campaign for the office.<\/p>\n

I’ll bet he’s going to reframe his public profile.<\/p>\n\n
