Why is it moral wrongs like running around on one's spouse gets democrats elected and republicans defeated?
I think it's because republican voters tend to vote for candidates who have a high moral standard so they (the voters) can feel better about their country (i.e., people with morals and ethics in power)...
while democrat voters tend to prefer candidates with a low moral standard so they (the voters) can feel better about themselves (hey, I'm no worse a person than the governor!).

It’s the social part of conservatism that looks for morality in political leaders, and conservatives generally look to the Republican Party to provide them. The Republican Party traditionally has been the home of conservatism.
Democrat voters tend to be emotionally based, rather than rationally based, and very self-serving.

It’s similar to what Rosalyn Carter said about their former supporters voting for Reagan: it made them feel more comfortable with their own prejudices.

(Rush was right when he said America may survive Obama but not the Obama supporters.)
