That's good and all, but the real kicker to this story:


The confirmation that the Daniels’ marriage is the last hurdle in front of a bid for the White House highlights the delicate situation in which the Governor finds himself.
In 1993, Cheri Daniels left her husband with their four daughters and married another man in California. She returned a few years later, reconciled with Daniels, and the two were remarried in 1997. That is, in a nutshell, the story. The national press first picked up on it last year when it was buried at the bottom of an 8,600-word Weekly Standard profile.
But much is unknown. Why did she leave Daniels? Why did she come back? That she would be reluctant to publicly answer such delicate questions in front of the nation seems only natural.

Smaller threads have been pulled upon before and unwound a candidacy. To some extent the candidacy for president involves the likeability of his wife. In a heated GOP climate like this, a very un-family value like story seems to lurk beneath the surface, possibly dooming Mitch's presidential hopes.
