Would you vote for a single (unmarried) president?

Not voting for someone because of their faith, or lack of, is just as bad as not voting for someone because of their martial status.

IIRC Gary Johnson was divorced and single when he ran in the GOP primaries (2008?). He did not do well, but I don't recall the lack of a wife ever being raised as an issue against him.

Putting a spin on this, how many of you would vote for a man who has never been married and lacks a woman on the side? Jerry Brown was a governor of Calif back in the 70s (and now). Back then, I remember that magazines used to show him with Linda Ronstadt, a famous hot rocker at the time. If they hadn't showed him with such a hottie, I wonder if ppl might have thought differently of him?

My main three criteria for candidates are ideology, character, and experience. I can't imagine this being an issue. Bill and Hillary were married in name only, and not only was Bill re-elected in 1996, Hillary has to be considered as the front runner for 2016 as of now.

I would say that I did not, and never would have voted for Bill Clinton just based on what I considered the very credible accusation of Juanita Broadderick. But that's an entirely different topic.

If a Candidate was qualified and won the Presidential Election , why not? It just may break the concept our candidates have to be squeaky clean andmake sure they did cheat on their 5th Grade Spelling Test.

Think about this for a moment?
