IMO the office of the Presidency has been tarnished for years to come,
if not forever. And I doubt that it will ever be held in high regard as
it should be again. :(

I can't imagine anyone so simon pure as to have nothing in his/her background
that the scandal mongers could use against him/her. That being the case, I
think your first PP is right on. Would you want to run, if everything you
ever did, said, didn't do, didn't say, etc., was up for grabs? Add to that
everything that could be said about you -- perhaps on tape -- between your
"friends" and I think my answer would be a resounding no.
I hope you're wrong about the office itself, though only time will tell.
History does have a few parellels -- presidents accused of scandalous conduct
-- and the office has survived.
