Studebaker conundrum


So – I champion letting Stephanie and Sam Studebaker figure out their lives out of the eye of the public because, frankly, there’s nothing here to see folks, move along, when it comes to the need to elect a democrat in the Ohio 3rd.

However, as someone fascinated by what’s happened to this family and its connection – or perhaps lack of a connection – to the political life Stephanie pursued over the last several months, I keep checking in. Today, I checked the Montgomery Clerk’s Public Records Online and discovered that Sam has filed for divorce, with Stephanie named as the defendant. This labeling doesn’t necessarily mean anything other than he may have gotten his papers in first. But their entire tramp through divorce court will indeed be noted on that site.

So – leave it alone? Let them be just another statistic? Wait a few months and then review? Forget about it all together? Or follow it because the impact is yet to be seen and analyzing what becomes known might help in the future?

Personally, I’m most interested in knowing the role the run for Congress played in all this because I’m concerned about getting more women into elected positions. But I’m also in favor of the Studebaker’s being able to proceed down what is no doubt a painful road without unnecessary scrutiny.

What do others think?
