This thread isn't a partisan issue, it's a symptom of what's wrong in America. Remember the fauxrage (great word, soon to be in the OED?) when Bill Clinton exclaimed, "I didn't inhale"? the big and ongoing noise surrounding Obama and his birth place and his religious beliefs?
Anyone wonder why only those driven by ambition or ideology have chosen to run for the Republican nomination this year? If we want the best and the brightest to set policy and our nations direction maybe we should measure the man or woman's ideas first and foremost - putting focus on a spouse unless convicted of a felony or the words or deeds of an associate isn't productive or sensible. Both are factors when making a choice but should never be the deciding one.
Sadlyl it's an effective tool for partisans. I know it's effective because I know nothing about Jeb Bush, yet I'm fairly certain I would never vote for or support his election to the the WH based solely on the performance of his brother.
