Why he might be annoying:

    While his wife was battling breast cancer, he had an affair and a child out of wedlock with Rielle Hunter.
    His name sounds confusingly similar to that of TV psychic John Edward.
    He has a law degree (which means he is trained to lie at the drop of a hat).
    He constantly reminds people that he is 'the son of a mill worker.'
    Despite being a millionaire, he celebrated his 27th Wedding Anniversary at Wendy's in Newburgh, NY (July 30, 2004)
    He was indicted by a federal grand jury on campaign finance violation charges. Allegedly, he used campaign money to hide his mistress (June 3, 2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is ranked the world's sexiest politician in People magazine (2001).
    He was married with four kids (one of which died in 1996).
    He attended NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill.
    He is an advocate for education.
    He's remarkably anti-tobacco for a North Carolina native.
    He was an active member of a bipartisan team to help out medical patients' rights.
    He intentionally ran a positive campaign avoiding attack ads and focusing on his own goals.
