My mother was the same way. If a man divorced his wife for another woman, as in this case, she'd literally boycott him. She, like my Arkansas friend, cannot and will not vote for someone who didn't believe in their marriage vows. That's why neither voted for Clinton. And that's why my friend will not vote for Hutchinson.

Perhaps it would've been better had Hutchinson resign and have Huckabee appoint a strong Republican who does believe in his marraige vows when all this started. But she will not vote for a man she considers to be amoral, and she considers Hutchinson amoral.

How did your mom vote on Clinton?

"She, like my Arkansas friend, cannot and will not vote for someone who didn't believe in their marriage vows."

I may be talking off the top of my head here, especially since I don't know all the details surrounding Tim Hutchinson's divorce and remarriage, and I guess I have to respect someone who bases their votes on principle, however, I believe in the marriage vow as much as anybody I know and yet I am divorced. I don't care to get into detail about it, but I do not believe I am less of a person or less of a Christian because of it and I am not willing to hold only that one thing against somebody. There can be all kinds of reasons for problems in a family. Some can legitimately be cause for ending a marriage. Granted, most are not, in my opinion, and a lot of people in today's society have a real problem with commitment and priorities. But all that aside, I don't believe it is my place to judge the man and I feel that I must cast my vote in this election in the interest of the greater good which I believe is in retaking the senate to give President Bush the opportunity to get some conservative judicial nominees seated and overcome the obstructionist tactics of Tiny Tommy Daschle and his herd of liberal sycophants. I guess everyone has a line they don't feel they can cross. I do as well, but this is not it.

Hutchinson had primary opposition, and the voters renominated him by a wide margin. The AR GOP voters wanted Hutchinson!

So I suppose she voted for Carter and Mondale?

How hypocritical of Christians in Arkansaw to judge Sen. Hutchison for a failed marraige. From what I could see he has served them, and this country pretty dang well during his tenure.

I think Character matters, and it would have been a very good thing had his marraige lasted, but from what we are seeing he is a fine man. With good character. He had a failed marraige.. but that isn't enough to hand the man. Sen. Hutchison and his "ex" wife aren't discussing the personal reasons for it, are they? I thought I had heard where she endorsed his candidacy,.. am I wrong?

So Arkansans would rather put a guy in who would allow the killing of innocent BABIES?? Now that is rich!!

From all we've followed of Sen. Tim Hutchison, he is a decent man. Sheesh.. whats next? Are Arkansan's gonna check people for VIRGINITY or only elect those who have never been divorced, or never had sex before marraige (Not saying that abstaining isn't a good idea before marraige,..just saying that is really harsh "judgement").

Hey Arkansaw.. "LET HE WHO HAS NOT SINNED THROW THE FIRST STONE!!"

I can assure you that Tim is not amoral!
