The "context" of an affair will bring down a politician a lot faster than an actual affair. Bill Clinton did a masterful job of abjectly apologizing for his transgressions, with a loyal Hillary by his side. Covering up is the worst think you can do - think Watergate, or Chandra Levy and Gary Condit (his attitude was, well everybody does it, why should I be punished?). I can't think of an instance when the revelation of an affair itself brought a politician down, it was the context.
