When i passed by the newspaper stand and read the Oregonians front page news i couldn't help but kick the metal stand in disgust. Why must we be so obsessed with the private lives of our governing officials? This affair has little, if nothing, to do with Adams' ability to lead. I recognize that he should have been truthful about the nature of his relationship, but i more strongly recognize that his personal business should remain just that, personal.
