I'm going to say absolutely not. McGwire's admitted usage of andro (a steroid precursor) - while legit at the time - began the overinflation of stats and - in my opinion - the rise of heavier steroid usage. The big questions that would need to be answered are: 1. For how long did he use andro, 2. How good was he before andro, 3. How much better was he on andro, 4. How long did he play on andro, 5. Testimony a la Giambi's that gets "leaked" - what did McGwire admit to using, when did he use it As far as I'm concerned, his election to the Hall would serve to remind baseball everyday of this black eye.
