Considering the two candidates we have, I thought this would be a good question.

The McCains are dog people. The Obamas are not.

Michelle says Barry has stinky feet. Does this have any bearing on the race?

I know you tried to be sneaky and act like this was a serious question, but we know your motives. this question is idiotic. you don't even need a wife to be president. buchanan was a bachelor.

Ron Paul married to the same woman for 50 years and has 5 kids.
Obama and McCain really?

So why isn't McCain's current marriage traditional? He and Cindy have been married for 28 years, they've had three children together and adopted a fourth.

Honestly, I don't really care all that much, to a point. I'm not concerned about McCain's divorce and quite frankly think that the focus on Obama and McCain's spouses is rather silly.

It seems that clucking about 'family values' is only done when it it is politically expedient to do so. The Dems that moaned and groaned about Bill Clinton being under scrutiny for his behavior have no business sticking their noses in McCain's marital life anymore than the Repubs who stuck their noses in Clinton's marital life have no business claiming that McCain's should be off limits. Either way, there is a lot of hypocrisy from both sides on this issue.

Family Values and Morals are very important to Americans.

I trhink Sanrene mentioned something about it being the number one issue in 2004!
