I read part of your article, and this poll was based on self reporting. You have to factor in that conservatives, who are much more likely to be evangelical Christians, are most likely to UNDER REPORT behavior that runs counter to the teachings of their church, because they have more to lose by being honest. Exhibit A are people like Larry Craig who still insists that he wasn't looking for gay sex in that bathroom.......OR the number of conservative clergy sex scandals over the years. Some human beings, regardless of their political leanings, cheat on their spouses, but some are more likely to be honest about it than others.
This is clear evidence being an ugly person makes you apt to become right wing.
You might be on to something there. If I were going to have affair with someone who's been president in my lifetime it would be in the following order:
1) Clinton
big gap
2) Obama
3) Kennedy
I guess I'd choose George W. next, but, yeah, not really even close. Bush Sr., would be better than Carter, I suppose. It would be a cold day in Hades before I chose Nixon.

Pretty much this. You can infer something and show possible correlation with self reporting data, but it's a far cry from the "science" the website claims.
Also, any supposedly scientific article that starts with "Casual observations of American political scandals seem to suggest... " isn't going to be very scientific.
So the OP is annoyed by living in a Blue state. He should move to a Red state like Alabama where none of the good Christians ever have sex outside of mariage and never cheat on their spouses.
