i would also add that we should look at the most recent examples of pols with children. while it is fair to assume that national pols with younger children would involve them in a certain amount of politicking, the two most obvious examples of how this is done are the clintons and the obamas. the clintons chose to keep chelsea out of the limelight to an extreme. when i wrote for an online children's sight we tried to get a couple of e-mail questions answered about what it is like to live in the white house through the first lady's office. heck, they wouldn't even agree to that. with the obamas, their girls have not been entirely sheltered but they haven't been bandied about like trophies, attempting to prove the republican premise that they are the family values party. the palins, on the other hand, chose this path and they have been exposed as hypocritical and continue to hold their so-called values up, ultimately resulting in ridicule, and obviously to the extreme. sarah palin's response to the tasteless jokes was no less absurd, attempting to make herself out to be some sort of role model for the modern woman, championing issues that have been relegated to the likes of NOW in the past. of course, i admit my biggest concern here is that there are enough people ignorant of her ineptitude to give her a go in 2012, but i pray that is not the case.
