Circumstances vary. I would never presume to judge harshly someone who had been married for quite awhile and had a discreet affair that happened to come to light, not knowing the subtleties of the situation. I would, however, judge more harshly a compulsive womanizer, especially if he had a reputation for assaulting women. There are a wide range of circumstances that one might fine mitigating or aggravating as regards someone's sexual behavior. Preying on interns would be an aggravating factor; being single would be mitigating, for example. After that, there is the question of how my view of their sexual behavior bears on my willingness to support them. Normally, it would be a weak factor, tipping the scales when they were pretty close, but I cannot say that is always true. Newt had to step down, for example, because he was compromised to much under the circumstances. Under other circumstances, a public penance might have sufficed.......
