I have heard all my adult life that a man or woman's "private life' does not matter when it comes to running for political office. The attitude seems to be "what happens in Vega...errrr, (my private life)stays there." While it may, we have "sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind" because we have ignored the counsel of men like Samuel Adams.
Perry
“If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honor of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation.” —Samuel Adams
