To What Extent Does A Candidates Personal Life Matter?

[alaskaguy]

This topic is connected with a number of issues;

Do personal life decisions or history have relevance on who you would vote for?

Do candidates religious beliefs or lack thereof influence who you would vote for?

Do you favor candidates from certain backgrounds?

Do you favor candidates that are not mega wealthy over candidates that are mega wealthy?

The only thing that turns me away from a candidate is that they let their personal beliefs shape their political decision-making.

Religious Beliefs used as reasoning for what they will do if elected is a huge no no for me

Interesting note. When The Economist took a look at Rudolph Guiliani they concluded--and I hope my memory is right here--that he is likely an unpleasant fellow with good policies.
