i'm not focusing on her daughter being pregnant. i am focusing on palin's policies, severe anti-abortion stance, and support for things such as abstinence only education. unfortunately, her daughter is a huge reminder on why those policies suck. you may think it lacks class, but i think if your (in this case palin's) policies obviously don't work and your family has fallen victim to them, that's a valid discussion starter.
if obama never saw his kids, and seemed to be a neglectful parent, i think that it would be a valid point to make against him. if someone is a bad parent, that tells us about their character, and allows us to make inferences about how they would fare as president/vp. the kids SHOULD NOT be the focus. the parents policies/stances/beliefs and whether or not they are a good or bad parent should be.
