In modern politics, politicians are constantly doing shady things that they don't want the public to know about. This keeps a lot of things out of the public's eye, and therefore, when a situation like Watergate occurs, it gets blown out of hand by the media and public. However, modern-day politicians still use means to uncover dirt on their opponents, a current example would be Hilary's use of dirt on Obama. Although she may not bug his office, as Nixon's men had been caught doing, she still goes about attaining her information in a sketchy manner. The difference is that Nixon's own men were caught in the office, and more current politicians usually go through other firms to do so.
That being said, if Nixon had truely achieved some positive things for the United States, then he should be viewed upon for his achievements, and not some silly mix-up he had while in office.
