Women troubles, empty pockets can't stop Gibbons' governor bid (Republican, Nevada)

[tonysam]

The voters probably will:

Republican Jim Gibbons' first term as governor had enough drama to raise eyebrows even in the state that's home to Sin City — allegations that he cheated on his wife, a possible dalliance with a former Playboy model, an ugly encounter with a cocktail waitress and a nasty divorce.

Another politician might have gone away quietly, abandoning a bid for another term as the Republican Party establishment cast him aside and the campaign dollars disappeared.

Not the unapologetic Gibbons.

"I'm not a quitter," says Gibbons, who compared living with his wife to being stuck in a phone booth with an "enraged ferret." To her charges that he was unfaithful, the governor said in one deposition that he hadn't had sex — with anyone — since 1995.

She was very nice - WAY too good for him!
