I think a candidate's children should be off limits. It is difficult when a candidate trots them out at rallys and photo ops and uses them to illustrate what great family values they have. As I recall the Clintons took a lot of flack for advocating public schools and being against private schools when they enrolled their daughter in a private school.
Is it out of limits to critisize Palin for advocating abstinence only and no sex education and point out their pregnant daughter to illustrate what may be a failure of those positions? Is it hypocritical to ask for privacy in your childs pregnancy decisions when you advocate getting the government involved in every family's and young girl's pregnancy choices? I think the answer to the above is no but I can understand why some may feel differently.
