Elections 2012: Candidates' Divorce Histories

Would You Elect A Divorced President?

Could divorce be among the hotly contested issues in the 2012 election?

Republican candidate Newt Gingrich already dodged a bullet when asked about his marital history, and Buddy Roemer addressed his multiple divorces as well. In fact, five presidential contenders (and several other fringe candidates) have divorce histories--whether they themselves have been divorced or it was their parents who untied the knot.

Is divorce a factor in your vote? Let us know in the comments.
