John Ensign, David Vitter, Newt Gingrich, John McCain, and Rudy Giuliani are all still quite popular among conservatives.

That's all it's good at. People do stuff like this all the time. What matters is what people do when it counts. King Solomon was one of the greatest kings in history. But he too had a problem with the ladies. He just had to sample a little bit of everything. Did his behavior hurt him personally? Yes. But did it take away from his ability to the great job he did? Nope. Considering that we've had leaders that willingly spill the blood of our children just to get a better price at the pump, I think Edwards' case is the last thing anyone should be dwelling on.
