Should a spouse's history of past 'indiscretions' be fair game in a political contest?

Up until the mid-80s, personal lives were completely off limits. I'm not entirely sure this recent concern with "personal character" has gotten us anywhere. I mean, let's face it, a vast majority of great people in history were pretty crappy individuals with nearly insufferable character flaws.

I would say that in most cases no. But in this case yes because his past actions and indiscretions were while he was governor of Arkansas and ultimately POTUS and she looked the other way and "stood by her man" when he was lying and lied with him even during h is elections. If she allowed that then, what else is she going to cover up in the name of politics and getting elected.

Yes when he is politicking for her. He got sweetheart deals to deliver speaches to dictators because of her. And she destroyed anyone or woman who came forward and complained about being raped.

No. It shows that the opponent doesn't have any substance, no position, and can do nothing more than highlight someone's past failures to hide his current ones.

Under normal circumstances i would be inclined to say "leave the family out of it" but the Clintons aren't normal circumstances. Billy boy opened that can of worms by being a politician. Period, end of statement.
