He's riding a wave of good press right now. I don't trust him. He's one bimbo eruption away from being just as sleazy as Bill Clinton, at least in terms of what he did as governor of Arkansas.
I think the Dems are the ones with the dirt on him and they want him to win. His advisers are doing him a disservice by letting him sound too much like a preacher. He will be typecast and labeled this in early states that really don't care about the religious right viewpoint.
