Where does your private life stop and your public life start?

I think that, when you enter into public life, whether you're a politician or an entertainer, you lose much of your privacy because so many people know who you are so that comes with the territory. As far as affairs hurting politicians more, in my opinion, it's due to the fact that people give those they elect their trust and they set the bar higher for that reason. It's not fair but being trustworthy is part and parcel with being elected. I know that you're in South Carolina and I really think that I would have very conflicted feelings if my governor (and his tan) were in the same situation. I like Governor Christ as a person but some of his decisions during the past year have caused me to distrust him a bit. I can separate the politician from the man because I'm familiar with him...as I'm sure you can do with your governor. They should have the same privacy rights as everyone else but, when their private lives affect their priorities and their ability to govern, it becomes the people's problem.
