Well, quite possibly, but what I'm really saying is that I don't know. I'm also saying that given the circumstances and the lack of any evidence, this is not a news worthy story.

I don't know what to do with this comparison really.

That's between Warnock and his church. I don't care. I seem to remember that Christians believe that men is bound to be imperfect and sinful and that they are high on forgiveness.
Now if he is known to preach how a divorce is a truly unforgivable sin, worthy of eternal damnation or something akin to that, then I'd say this is actually a news story, one of hypocricy. If you happen to know about such an instance, you have a comparison here to Herschel Walker being strictly anti-abortion while having paid for at least one abortion for one of his many mistresses. If not, I firmly remain with those that believe what Walker did is worse, more hypocritical and more news worthy.

My involving myself in this thread is that each candidate/party have their pro's and con's.

Sure, I don't doubt that. What I doubt is that these pros and cons always equal each other out in the end, a rule you seem to try to establish with force. Of course, it often is a matter of perspective, eg. maybe some people think getting served or divorced as a priest is worse or morally more reprehensible than being a fraudulent TV doctor or demanding abortion bans after persuading your mistress to get one. I can see how a majority of people would see it differently though.

I agree with the first assessment, the latter however, I don't know. Some candidates are just pretty bad. Like Herschel Walker. Who is dumb, uninformed, hypocritical and morally dubious, statements that can easily be underlined with examples.
That doesn't mean that his opponent is 100% good, far from it. And everything possibly incriminating about Warnock can be discussed for sure. But if his biggest issues are a divorce and unconfirmed allegations from the ex-wife, then yeah one candidate's personal awfulness is quite apparently - or say in the eyes of most people - more spectacular and deserves more spotlight than the other's. What actually factors into your vote is, of course, a different issue.
