True, but Liberals have always had loose sexual morals, they tend to think if you have a desire or a whim you should satisfy it at once, therefore a causation doesn't sound very unlikely.

Or maybe, just maybe, when you get a significant amount of politicians and political staffers into a single city there tends to be some sex going on. Shock?

  Is politics a high-libido profession? Hm... maybe, actually it makes sense. But I think a subculture that holds books like Eros and Civilization from Herbert Marcuse in high regard has probably higher time preferences in it.

    Never mind the politicians. (I suspect that if an elected official with a reputation to lose is looking for a little extramarital nookie, he or she has more discreet sources than craigslist.) Think of all the lower-level political staffers, the volunteers, the politics junkies who came to the convention because they want to hang out with other politics junkies. There are lots of young, enthusiastic people in a city full of strangers who are only going to be there for a week. Like spring break, without the beaches.

    Maybe, maybe not. I'd like to see stats for less-political conventions... I wouldn't be surprised to see an increase in promiscuity for any large group of people on a week-long trip away from home. But it might be the combination of technological skills and go-getter attitude shared by young political staffers that lead them to post their desires on Craiglist...

Republicans do it to. http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/myfox/pages/News/Politics/Detail?contentId=7130027&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.14.1 http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/myfox/pages/News/Politics/Det... That morality stuff is mostly for Sunday morning, not Saturday night.

  To be more precise, whores claim that Republicans probably would do it, and journalists print it. It may be true, but that's not a good source. It will be very interesting to see how the RNC works out. I suspect more of the same, with a slightly higher ratio on the m4m board (for many gay Republicans, the convention could be the only serious shot they have at finding a partner who shares their political views).
