It's so refreshing in Chicago to have a candidate who isn't a political hack and seems to be concerned with getting into office the right way and for the right reasons.

More specifically, Obama replied "I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment on that. Those are issues of personal morality. The issues I'm focused on are public morality."*
That Obama guy is a class act. If it weren't for the weather, I might move to Chicago just to vote for him (although, since it's Chicago, I can probably vote for him a couple of times no matter where I am).
*Note: The rumor that Obama later added "Besides, if I was nailing Jeri Ryan I'd want everyone to see too" is entirely unfounded.
