A Little Perspective, Please

Which of these three items is the most important and might derail a presidential campaign?

* Bill Clinton continuing to chase anything in a skirt, according to a new Vanity Fair story.

* Michele Obama using the word "whitey" in unknown context, according to rumors.

* John McCain calling his wife a four-letter word for her vagina, according to first-hand accounts.

And what does your choice say about the state of political discourse in America?

I'm really more interested in whatever that dog is going to pull out of the sand, which I guess is the metaphor here. It's always the next disgusting thing that reporters (or bloggers) can pull out of the muck that makes us take notice.

If each side starts with a fixed list of gaffes, mistakes and secrets to be exposed, the winner is distinguished from the loser only by the timing.
