I agree with some of the posts previously put up. If your family's behavior or structure blantantly flies in the face of your stated policies, then some inquiry on those subjects is appropriate. If the Republicans don't think that some evangelicals are shitting themselves over this latest information, they're nuts. Sure, the policy guys in MN might be spinning it as pro-family values YAY!...but every one of them I know in real life thinks it looks really bad for Palin, in light of their shared position on abstenance-only education. I just wish that the level of discussion and inquiry into the matter was of a more intellectual bent, and less salacious. Ask a question about the policy Palin supports, and how she reconciles her daughter's situation to that policy.
In that sense, no I don't think a candidate's family will ever be, or should be off-limits. The type of questions / scrutiny applied is another issue.
