| Description | Senate Majority Leader Truman Chafin says "a true friend" would coax Gov. Bob Wise into sitting out next year's election.
Otherwise, the Democratic governor cannot avoid intense scrutiny and constant reminders from rivals and the press alike over his confessed infidelity, Chafin suggested Tuesday.
Last week, Wise issued an apology to his family and the state's residents over an extramarital affair.
"A true friend would tell you the truth and not sugar-coat it, wouldn't he?" Chafin, D-Mingo, said.
"If a true friend actually told him what lies ahead, he might consider that he's going to be in a hard battle."
Chafin said he figures not only will Democratic rivals use the affair against him in the primary, but if he survives that election, Republicans then will pick up on the same theme.
"I just think his road is going to be pretty rocky," Chafin said.
"I'm talking about peace of mind. If a person is more interested in quality of life, I'm not so sure he would want to go through that mine field."
