He did beat around the bush about dating the girls in their late teens, which was not the approach he should have taken. He should simply have admitted that he did so, and assert that, although some people might criticize it, 30 years ago in the South it was a fairly common practice, not unlawful, and even today it is not usually condemned. So, if he in fact did date these young women, I certainly wouldnt characterize it as slimy.

He’s running for Senate, not local dog catcher. Dating 16 and 17 year olds when he’s in his 30s matters politically, and many voters will consider it questionable.
many voters will consider it questionable.....I doubt Alabama will.

Right, especially those who are desperate for reasons to oppose him.
