I don't think you can judge someone's views based on their personal weaknesses. And, remember, "Jon Carry" (Kerry) very nearly was elected despite his numerous personal issues.

You get a pass on personal issues only if you are a liberal. If you are a conservative every single action is scrutinized. These are clear double standards and not fair but this is also real world.
For liberals, morality is judged by your views on immigration, abortion, affirmative action and universal health care.
For conservatives, morality is judged by your personal behavior in every area of life.
Those are the rules we have to play by and still win.
