No it shouldn't. But illegal, hypocrisy, and "sin" are three very different concepts. Sanford's cheating on his wife is his, his wife's, his mistress', and his children's issue to deal with. However, his lying about his whereabouts, his using state money to take the opportunity to visit his mistress, abandonment of office for several days while no one knew where he was, and claim values to garner votes that he proposes for the rest of the country, but fails to subscribe to for himself all go a bit deeper than the issue of "sin". Remember, separation of church and state. I am not so concerned with the concept of "sin" in this case (or any other for that matter), as it is a religious issue that should have absolutely nothing to do with politics. I am, however, concerned with the issue of honest representation, misuse of public funds, dishonesty, and lack of regard for the well being of the people he has pledged to serve.
good luck.
