I too want to know more about a candidate who’s vying for public office. That renders such a candidate a kind of public property. We need to know as much as we can, for the sake of making an informed choice about a candidate who seeks to represent us, who knows our interests AND knows what turns us off.

And if all the candidate has is a sports background, I’d have to see a HUGE load of further evidence that the candidate was ready for a new “game”.
