Thanks for the link. I know some people believe adultery shouldn’t matter at all. I think it matters, because it’s a reflection of the candidate’s overall trustworthiness. Of course, the nature of the adultery is important. Like I wrote before, it depends on when it occurred and how the candidate treats it. Whether or not someone thinks adultery is morally evil (many do, including myself), it’s a social ill. I personally believe people in positions of authority have an obligation to live to a higher standard if for no other reason than the fact they are an example for others. However, a person who regrets an adulterous relationship that happened decades ago probably deserves different treatment than someone who is presently engaged in adulterous relationships (and even worse, proud of the fact).
