How has he handled adversity in his personal life? That too gives us insight. I'm not saying a bad family man can't be a good politician (Henry VIII anyone?) but I prefer a man of character.

I'm sure it won't all be fluff, these women are not of that ilk, that's the fault of the media. And yes, the electorate is intelligent and knows how to decide on which policies it prefers. This is just an extra political dimension, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from Sam and Sarah.

I agree with Philipa.. I just want someone voted in who can get the job done.. someone who can get this country back on track. This is all wrong! I agree with Philipa..

I'm a woman, I'm a mum and I'm on the net, and I couldn't care less what Sarah and Sam wear and what they say about their husbands to be honest. I'm interested in what their husbands do, what <i>they</i> say, the other cabinet members and what the parties policies are. I'm uncomfortable about this growing trend towards celebrity politics. And I'm uncomfortable about the 'presidential' style politics, not just with MSM coverage but more with the NuLab effect on our laws and democracy.
