Concerning zipper problems
Why Bill Clinton's past infidelity is more relevant to his wife's candidacy than Rudy Giuliani's own infidelity is to his own candidacy is an exercise left to the reader.
I can think of several dozen reasons not to nominate or elect Hillary Clinton as President, but her husband's zipper problem is not among them.
Footnote We have poll reports that:
* More than a quarter of voters would regard a candidate's having been married three times as a reason not to vote for him for President. (Presumably having moved a paramour into City Hall, displacing a wife, would be worse.as a reason not to disqualification for the Presidency. I haven't seen the cross-tabs, but I'd assume those concerns are concentrated among voters who describe themselves as "evangelical."
* Giuliani is stomping McCain, largely because of his lead among evangelicals.
That raises an obvious question that I haven't seen any polling on: What fraction of the voters, and in particular of white evangelicals, are aware of Giuliani's ... ummmm ... difficulty in remembering his wedding vows?
