Now that the (mostly) subterranean drama that is the first couple’s marital problems has resulted in Gov. Jim Gibbons filing for divorce, an uncomfortable almost-story becomes a full-blown sensation. A governor filing for divorce during his tenure is almost unheard of. So the question is: What happens next? First lady Dawn Gibbons already has portrayed herself as a victim.

Or will she talk and fight? I bet the governor has his fingers crossed these days.
