Politician's Divorce May Impact His Campaign

When you run for a political office, you cannot hide anything in your past. While many politicians have experienced divorce, a frontrunner for the 2012 election is wishing he had not.

Even though he was divorced from his first wife over three decades ago, a Republican nominee is having trouble with his race due to that first divorce. As a man that has been married three times, the public knows that he does not have a solid history with marriage. However, he had always claimed that his first wife served him the divorce papers. A recent memoir by his daughter states that it was actually the politician that served the papers while his wife was seriously ill.

Since his daughter has come forward with the sordid truth, so too have several other important figures in the politician's life. They all claim that he wanted the divorce and he initiated it. This may not have been a problem if he had been forthcoming with the truth. Now that he has been shown to lie, it could hurt his campaign.
