"I'd rather make my decisions on who's best to run the country on someone's personal life than any talent he/she has shown in actually running a governmental entity. {sarcasm/]"

I believe that someone's personal life to a large extent reflects their judgment on matters. The President of the United States really needs to be a stable individual with sound judgment. You look to his/her personal life as part of determining their stability and ability to judge. JMHO

It looks good on paper but in reality that may not be so. A CEO of a firm I worked for many+ years ago said after his third marriage - it's always the ones with 'marriage issues' that have pointed their finger at me.

He said he noted that in his own circumstances and those of his friends, those who were unhappy themselves seemed most peeved and those that had a great marriage where there to support them both. And those that were 'secretly' cheating, discreetly, asked "since you are high profile aren't you afraid of backlash, gossip and how it will ruin your finances'. To them he said, 'if I lived my life because I was afraid of anything or anybody, I wouldn't be as successful as I am - besides I'm more creative and thus make more when I'm happy'. I tell you, he was the most pleasant person to work for in the midst of the 'whiney' grumps!

"I believe that someone's personal life to a large extent reflects their judgment on matters."

Agreed. Character is the most important trait in a presdident. I thought we had all learned our lesson on Bill Clinton, but apparently the Rudybots like the candidates with loose morals.
