I think Guliani and Newt are tied in divorces (2 each). Guiliani may have the edge in affairs (since his were so public) but then again maybe a secret affair scores higher (which would favor Newt).

You also have to be a hypocrite, it seems. Newt offers some good old-fashioned hypocrisy, Guiliani tries to substitute flip-flopping. I think Newt has the edge here, but Guiliani has plenty more flip-flopping in him.

Anyway, it is going to be a real horse race between these two shining examples of marital fidelity and other conservative Christian values [ha!].

Pity poor McCain, with only one divorce, and Romney, with none. Maybe they can catch up - I'd advise them to start divorce proceedings now. \

Apparently the liberal standard of this board is that cheating is preferable to divorce and one should stick to women that will allow one to cheat throughout the marriage, don't mind being publicly shamed, have no problem with paying off the other woman to "make it go away"...and lie under oath if necessary. I'm glad liberals are not considered moral watchdogs by anyone other than themselves.
