I do not think they should, but the spouses have come under fire on this board quite a bit. Personally, I think it is a reflection of the posters inability to reasonably explain their objection to a candidates position on something. Easier to spew poison about someones drug use years ago, their age, what thing they said that shuld have been said another way, etc.

It could be considered "fair game" if people were able to keep in mind that a spouse isn’t running for office. If I’m capable of having a relationship with someone who doesn’t align perfectly with my own political views, it certainly shouldn’t be considered beyond the pale that Presidential Candidates do it.

The problem, however, is that campaigns are about controling images and how consumers receive the "message." If a spouse were at all connected to the campaign, one would expect them to tow the same line that campaign associates do.

But, then again, campaign associates have had a history of not quite towing the line, either. The whole idea of how these campaigns and the public’s perception of them are shaped is entirely farcical already. The spouse is yet another odd character in the kabuki.

NOPE! They are not in the race. The race should be about the issues and between all of the Candidates, not their spouses. This is simply not a cat fight. However, their spouses will frequently be in the limelight. Hopefully, they will not make idiotic, racist, unpatriotic remarks like Michelle Obama has made on several occasions now.
