Personal character is and always will be a legitimate issue in elections....Voters who don't value personal character, or who, for example, don't place a high value on marital fidelity as an indicator of personal character, are free to discount these issues. But the voters who do are completely within their right and reason to do so.

Personal character should be one of the criteria in evaluating a candidate. Personal character is not decided however on if a person is active sexually (which frankly is an issue between he and his spouse), it is a deeper question.
To make as factual rumors such as this which have NO evidence shows more about those who publicize the rumors than those who the rumor is about.

So now Kerry has not only been judged guilty of an affair (lack of any true evidence? "screw the facts" they scream) but also lying to his wife (were there those who heard the conversations between husband and wife? "screw the facts" they scream). Rush to judgement by those who are adept at the use of personal attack politics...doesn't it make you question the "personal character" of those who use these personal attacks on their opponent?
