Because people weren't as hyperpartisan back in the 1970s.

Watergate was an indictment against Nixon's character, not the character of the entire Republican Party.

Yes, ultimately it was his vanity, paranoia, and scruples that were on trial. It is telling on how weak Carter was that even with the pardon and the baggage from Nixon's Presidency he did not win convincingly in '76 over Ford.
