Matt Bai:: Hey! Look over there

If, you do something completely idiotic that is tangential
to what voters most hope or fear about you, then you tend to get a pass.This idea is especially relevant now because, over the last week or so, all three remaining contenders for the presidency have stumbled into controversies that are not only fodder for reporters but that are also potentially sticky. They are, all of them, central to the arguments on which the candidates have staked their fortunes.
