In the context of a 50% national divorce rate, you only look like a fanatic trying to pursue this, and may in fact cause a backlash by people who judge (rightly in my opinion) that the governor's opponents play dirty.

You really are choosing to be ignorant about this, aren't you? Republicans aren't pursuing some sort of sordid investigation, this was all from Wise himself and the AP. The PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA have reacted very negatively to his adultery and many have said they will not vote for him in 2004.

You don't care about morality, but thank goodness West Virginians do. They don't want to settle for a 50% divorce rate, and they know the difference between Henry Hyde having one affair 30 years ago, reforming his ways and being faithful ever since, and Bob Wise setting a terrible example to the citizenry as the governor.

I think the government as arbiter of morality is extremely bad for the cause you are pursuing. Caveat emptor.
