Some people think this is an important way to determine the way a candidate makes decisions, by looking at the dynamic of their closest relationships, who (or what sort of a person) they chose for a wife, etc., but I always got the sense that people read into that sort of thing what they want to anyway. It's hard enough to get into the mind of a candidate, let alone that of his/her strongest and closest supporter, which probably just obfuscates the former analysis anyway. If so-and-so has a strong/weak/fill-in-the-blank marriage, I'm not so sure how to interpret that politically other than to say that they have one good/bad/fill-in-the-blank important relationship going for them.<BR/><BR/>Hey, thanks for the comments in the previous post.

While societal norms/pressure probably makes that the husband's career the majority of the time, that can be worked on within a marriage. But it's unrealistic to expect both careers to be given equal importance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
