Beyond moral conjecture, there's no valid and reliable proof of the connection. What other immoral but legal things "can't" policians do without having their political honesty questioned?

How do you regard a person's basic character? I tend to think by a certain age, you're going to have patterns set, and while you might have occasional lapses, marital infidelity is a big enough decision that it's a significant tell.
ETA: [Apparent] marital fidelity alone wouldn't establish anyone's creditability for me; it's just that's its absence seems significant. And adultery is illegal in a lot of states, so it may not make sense to limit your request that way.

It's fun to quote the Daily Kos.
