You people are falling into the WashPosts' trap by even discussing this. The allegations cannot be proved or disproved. Period. We may as well be arguing about his fitness for the senate if it were alleged that he had left a drunken sex party with a young woman not his wife and drove his car off a bridge into a canal, from which he extricated himself but left the woman to drown, because he was in a panic to construct a cover story and buy off the cops.
I wonder if that would be "disqualifying?" We certainly know for a fact it wasn't. At least not for Teddy Kennedy. But a guy in rural Alabama dating teen girls is scandalous and disqualifying, 40 years later?
