Francine Busby, Chair of that San Diego Democrat Party, told the New York Times that the party was giving Mayor Filner the "benefit of doubt" because they were so excited to have someone in office pushing a progressive agenda.
"Democrats aren’t going to give him a pass, but may be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because we’ve waited so long, nearly 20 years, for a mayor who could put forward a progressive agenda," she said.
"But this doesn’t erase what he’s done," she said. "I don’t know if it’s enough at this point."
(Translation: Close your eyes and think of San Diego)
Let's recap. What did the San Diego Democrat Party know before the women started revealing themselves?
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Yep, what he did/does isn't as important as his agenda. The ends justify the means.

'Splain to me how I lied. You're the one saying he's a Republican.

But, But Otis, you perfectly described how Republicans view scandal.....so silly me, I assumed you were describing a Republican. My bad.
So the only way out of getting nailed down on a real issue is to deflect and claim it's the Republican's fault? I take it you're ok with a Mayor who is grabbing women's asses and committing sexual harassment against the women who helped to elect him and are willing to give him a pass because he has a progressive agenda?
