To be quite honest, for me, I could care less about anyone's personal life (unless it was something criminal of course, but if they had that kinda background, they wouldn't be running for President). I don't care if the guy (or girl) is an asshole in their personal life, all I care about is if they can run the country and do a good job of it.
That's why I didn't care about the witch hunt when they went after Clinton on the whole Lewinsky thing because I thought it was just stupid. Are politicians hypocritical? Absolutely, and the ones that usually bang the drum the loudest for their particular cause are the biggest hypocrites of all. But I could care less about that...I hate social issues being made a part of any election.
If someone wants to run for President that left his dying wife to go live with a stripper in the past, good for him, that's on him, not me. He's the one that has to live with himself. So long as he can run this country and do it the right way, that's all that matters to me.

See what you made me go and do?
