Not really fair and used to not be such an issue except when candidates wives drew attention to themselves. Kitty Dukakis, Hillary of course, Ms Edwards, Kerrys I married a billionaire family eccentric wife. Before that it had been since Eleanor since a potential or otherwise first lady garnered so much press.
I seem to remember a presidential wife by the name of Jackie Kennedy who drew a lot of press.
