Haley Fights Affair Charge

Someone ought to stick Kenneth Starr on the case. South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley is aggressively fighting charges of an affair with Mark Sanford’s former spokesman. At a debate Monday, she called the charges, which the spokesman Will Folks levied on his blog, “categorically and totally false”; she then told the press that “there is nothing there” before going on three talk shows, where the Associated Press says “callers filled lines in the hours that followed with praise aplenty for how she handled the matter.”
