For a woman who would us her daughter and her son as symbols of what she stands for is sick. She pushed her family into the spotlight for her own selfish reasons.

I feel sympathy when it comes to her kids since the kids of politicians, imo, no matter what should ever be targeted or have pot-shots taken at them. They shouldn't be punished or ridiculed because of what their parent(s) does (do). As for those literally running, no, not really, since, as you said it, they're the ones "willingly putting themselves out there". Their pasts will be revealed to the public and all that, so that should definitely be expected.
As for Palin in general...I do admire the fact that she does seem to be a tough woman. For the most part, the main thing I disagreed with were her on were her values and some of her old-fashioned ways of thinking. I also felt that she came across as lacking knowledge when it came to international affairs. To me, it's like she was living inside of a bubble.
