I don't care much about affairs, other baggage, etc. Yes, it influences me some, but it mostly depends on how hypocritical the candidate is about it. For that reason I lost a lot of respect for Gingrich over the whole Clinton impeachment. One thing I really look for in a President is vision. Not Ron Paul "let's change everything!" kind of vision, but, a certainty that things can be improved, a power of character, and the ability to use different tools to get things done. IMHO, Ron Paul just has a hammer in his tool chest. In this sense Romney seems the most capable. He seems to think about how to make things work. I wish he weren't such a chameleon, though. But Obama does that too. Perry really didn't impress me. Huntsman seems a reasonable choice for VP.
