To me, adultery is a sign of complete relationship bankruptcy. Given the fact that Sanford was unable to find a solution for his marital angst and chose to walk away from the huge lesson his soul would garner if he'd but faced his challenge and at least been an adult about it, my tendency is to toss him to the dumpster.
He could have simply said: "Sorry folks, but after a lot of grinding of our psyches with professional help, we just can't get back to love. So we're both moving on and hoping for the best for the other. It's a failure of some importance, and we're hoping to get all the good out of that that we can, but at least we haven't chosen to lie to each other, to nurse vile resentments behind our presentations to each other, or to dishonor all the good that our marriage did support in our lives by chucking our deeply meant vows of base-line decency to each other." He cudda done that. Cudda got re-elected with that. Since it seems he instead decided to push it until he got caught and then shame his wife and family thereby, I say it DOES GO TO WHAT WE CAN EXPECT OF HIM IN HIS ROLE AS GOVERNOR. Fuck over your wife and family? Phihhhh!....what wouldn't he do to others?
