"I really think we need to get over this thing where somebody's sex life is a qualifier for holding public office"

The problem is that this is something the 'values' voters hold near and dear. They will never give it up.

"Buffett repeated his criticism of "cap and trade" as a method to control pollution, saying it would be a huge, regressive tax."

"I really think we need to get over this thing where somebody's sex life is a qualifier for holding public office. It shrinks the talent pool dramatically."

I completely agree, especially where you KNOW the guy is a dog going in, like Clinton, and vote for him anyway. But, if the guy is constantly touting "family values" or is a Promise Keeper or a supposedly devout, God fearing Christian that NEVER breaks any of the commandments, they deserve what they get.

Given what Sanford disclosed in his press conference.......maybe not. ;-)

I really think we need to get over this thing where somebody's sex life is a qualifier for holding public office. It shrinks the talent pool dramatically.


I agree but IMO Sanford's problems are more than just philandering. I suspect the dude is not playing with a full deck or is on the verge of a breakdown. I think this guy has been playing a role he outgrew a long time ago.
