It is surprising how many politicians have been found cheating lately though. While the instance of cheating may be no higher than the general norm, there must be a personality trait connection between those that want political power and the desire to stray.

After I divorce him I'll be running for his job in the next election so I can fulfill the promises I stood for in the last campaign and voted for in the election."

And I'll bet she gets elected too...
