I agree with the common theme among sooz's, gop's, and been's posts (maybe others said it too and I missed it). His resignation should be based on his dereliction of duties, not his personal life. I don't care if he was in Appalachia, Argentina, or Antarctica, or how many times his plans changed for his vacation destination and who was accompanying him in his bed while there. What is important is that he didn't even tell anyone he was going on a vacation and to have his Lt. Governor notified to cover his duties while gone. It would have sufficed for him to tell them that he was taking a vacation and didn't expect to be in communication while gone, so was turning over the controls to the Lt. Governor for the week. How that played out when his wife tried to reach him and found out from his office that he was on vacation without her, it might have been fun for the tabloids, but wouldn't have been dereliction of his duty to his office.

And, yes, there are hypocrites in both parties. They just are hypocritical about different things because they campaign on different issues. The Republicans are hypocrites when they get caught with their pants down with mistresses and other men because they are promoting that whole family first nonsense. Democrats get to be hypocrites on environmental and healthcare issues...parking a Prius in the driveway of a 5000 sq foot house that always has lights on or heat or A/C running, and huge chemically treated and watered lawns cut by someone on a gas-powered riding mower, an an olympic-sized pool in the backyard is rather hypocritical when telling everyone else they need to conserve energy and water, and I'll be that no matter what healthcare plan they come up with for the rest of us, there will be an exception in there for at least members of Congress.

Been, I also agree that infidelity is quite rampant, especially among men (but certainly not ONLY among men). The only difference I really notice between Democrats and Republicans in terms of infidelity is that the Democrats I've known are pretty quick to admit it's a sign the marriage isn't working and get a divorce (at least once they get caught...everyone tries to get away with it as long as they can). The Republicans seem to prolong the suffering and resist getting a divorce until they're caught more than once...they don't actually stop cheating, they just get better at hiding it from their wives. How do I know? I've been dating a married Republican man for a long time. At least half the men he knows have admitted to each other about having affairs, and they cover for each other, telling the wives they're going out with clients for dinner or that "the guys" are going out for drinks after work. It's easier for them to get away with it now more than ever with everyone switching to using cellphones and giving up landlines. Nobody ever calls a landline to find out someone isn't where they are supposed to be, they call the cell phone and never know where they're answering from.

Mostly, I think the problem is people get married too young. They seem to hit their early 20's and just latch onto whomever they're dating at the time while being more in love with the foolishly romantic notions they have about being married than with whom they are marrying. Very few men are mature enough at that age to make such a lifelong decision. When they do mature in a few years and realize that once the sex becomes less frequent, they don't really have much else in common with the person they married, their ego prevents them from admitting their mistake and getting a divorce, so instead they start shopping around. They never really do figure out how to fix the problem when they finally find someone who they really are compatible with on other levels (my boyfriend and I see each other only a few times a year...our relationship is built on a lot more than sex), so you just have to wait until the wife catches them and she's the one that puts the end to the marriage.
