[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 292648, member: 6546"] Well, unfortunately...when a person runs for public office, their whole family is "up for election". Part of what made Barack Obama so appealing was his wife and daughters. I think folks do assume that husbands are influenced by their wife's opinion and vice-versa. Now it may not make much difference in the world of accounting, or fire-fighting, or computer programming or any number of other careers. But public office...? If the spouse seems questionable, the public often questions the judgment of the public official. Based upon the details of the story, I believe that this man would never have gotten this public job in the first place with this woman by his side. So a controversial decision....but I think I get where the town is coming from. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
